When i was young i lived in a countryside with my family.I was playing almost all day with a neighbor. He had the same age of me . I remembered that he came everyday after school, we had just a ball or a bycicle to play with. Several times we watched cartoons with my brother. We messed up my dad’s vegetables garden a lot of time with my ball, often I had to hide because he became very angry! I had lived there for five years, then my parents bought a new house and we had to moved . Unfortunately I haven’t seen my friend anymore even though we grow up in the same village. Lately whilst I was walking with my dog I saw him. We had a nice conversation after several years. We laughed and we reminded our youth. I would come back if I could….! He gave me his address and said i can visit him and his parents any time.I think i will accept his invitation !!

He gave me his address and said i can visit him and his parents any time.I think i will accept his invitation !!Unlike in the Italian language, in the English language we do not "HAVE" age. Italians say they " have 40 years of age" . ( ho quaranta anni........e' corretto??) English speakers ARE of a certain age. " I am forty years old". With that being said, your sentence could be written " He had the same age as I ". But, I believe most English speaking people would write " He WAS the same age as I ". Please take note that the word " I " follows the word "as" . To write or say " .....as me " is incorrect. There exists an implied and hidden verb following the phrase " as I ". For instance, in the sentence " He had the same age as I " the hidden verb after the word " I " is " HAD". "He had the same age as I had' is a perfectly correct sentence. Most people omit the second HAD because it is redundant. But, this omission has led to the misuse of the correct noun. " He had the same age as ME had ". As you can see, this is completely wrong. In English, ME never HAD anything!!
either WE MOVED oppure WE HAD TO MOVE.....I think both are acceptable

When i was young i lived in the countryside with my family. I played almost all day with a neighbor. He was the same age as me . I remembered that he came over everyday after school, we only had a ball and a bicycle to play with. Several times we watched cartoons with my brother. We messed up my dad’s vegetable garden a lot of the time with my ball, often I had to hide because he would get very angry! I lived there for five years, then my parents bought a new house and we had to move . Unfortunately I haven’t seen my friend since then, even though we grew up in the same village. Lately whilst I was walking with my dog I saw him. We had a nice conversation. We laughed and we remembered our youth. I would go back if I could….! He gave me his address and said i can visit him and his parents any time.I think i will accept his invitation !!I love the photo. Is this a true tale, it sounds very pleasant.
