train

On the train, he met a woman who said his son went to the same school as he did.

Is the above sentence correct?

Thank you

No, you've got a 'his son' and a 'he did' but I think one of those should refer to the woman. As it stands the woman is telling the man that the man's son went to the same school as the man.

Maybe the father didn't know what school his son went to. Emotion: big smile
