Usages of gleich
das gleiche Mittagessen
the same lunch

Ich trage das gleiche T-Shirt wie er.
I wear the same T shirt as he. The T-shirt is of the same brand and color

“How do German cases work?”
German has four grammatical cases: nominative (subject), accusative (direct object), dative (indirect object), and genitive (possession). The case determines the form of articles and adjectives. For example, "the dog" is "der Hund" as a subject but "den Hund" as a direct object.
