Wiktionary. The article has content that is useful at Wiktionary. Therefore the article can be found at either here or here ( logs 1 logs 2.) Note: This means that the article has been copied to the Wiktionary Transwiki namespace for evaluation and formatting. It does not mean that the article is in the Wiktionary main namespace, or that it has been removed from Wikipedia's. Furthermore, the Wiktionarians might delete the article from Wiktionary if they do not find it to be appropriate for the Wiktionary. Removing this tag will usually trigger CopyToWiktionaryBot to re-transwiki the entry. This article should have been removed from Category:Copy to Wiktionary and should not be re-added there. |

He said that that can be used as a pronoun.
A friend told me that it's grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with the word 'that'. Is this true? PolarisSLBM 16:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
That looks good to me, as long as the pronoun has a clear reference in context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.113.172 ( talk) 22:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
The fourth reference link, about the pattern being infinitely repeatable, goes to a page of links rather than an article. - 71.28.192.37 ( talk) 05:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
'Indefinitely' is probably a better word than 'infinitely'. Formal grammars generally stipulate that a well formed sentence must be finite. 67.130.129.135 ( talk) 20:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
This section is fun but does it really fit in an encyclopedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.38.66.73 ( talk) 14:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I moved the redirect for ꝥ to Ꝥ, as there is an article for it now. However, all of the information in this article is either about Ꝥ, and so belongs in the main article, or is about the word's function, and so belongs in the Wiktionary article. So could this article be merged with Ꝥ? LokiClock ( talk) 21:28, 31 August 2009 (UTC) On second thought, most of the information really wouldn't be relevant to ꝥ...

If you don't see this word or if you on a similar Wikipedia website called "Uncyclopedia" which contains with all every 'that' they used in a sentence or information about this article the word 'that' about 100% guaranteed, thanks for this caution TheArticleExperience ( talk) 13:41, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I am an english student, and this article is to small. "That" is very important in english, please could some people develop this article???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.251.106.11 ( talk) 19:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Given that WP:ITALICTITLE says to italicize the title if italics would be used in running text, and WP:WORDSASWORDS says that words as words are italicized in running text, should this title (which is a "word as word") not be italicized? Victor Yus ( talk) 14:59, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
"...to introduce a restrictive relative clause ("The test that she took was hard.") In this role that may be analyzed either as a relative pronoun or as a conjunction as in the first case...."
Could someone come up with a better example for this type of use? "The test that she took was hard," is confusing as the sentence should properly read: "The test she took was hard." No "that" is needed nor should it be used. Risssa ( talk) 03:15, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
"I hate that dogs are messy" is not an example of "that" being used as a relative pronoun, but as a subordinating conjunction, as "dogs are messy" is a clause that is the object of the whole clause ("I hate..."), instead of forming a clause with the object of the whole clause, as "are messy" does with "dogs" in "I hate dogs that are messy" and "was hard" does with "the test" in "The test that she took was hard". 130.226.239.133 ( talk) 13:26, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
The first two bullet points indicate restrictions on the way 'that' is used in American English:
According to whom?? That simply is not true. I can't really speak for Canadian English, but in America 'that' is used in both those forms all the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.175.134.111 ( talk) 15:34, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Is this article all that? Please give a Link with all every 'that' for making article? TheArticleExperience ( talk) 13:39, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
I am a new Wikipedian, and don't know how it is. please give a Link all every "That" to the article. When I try to do that — Preceding unsigned comment added by EIBaluyot2003 ( talk • contribs) 00:17, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
I'm new to Wiki and dont know how to do this - please link all every "that" to the article. when I tried That, the text came up as highlight will bold instead of a link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EIBaluyot2003 ( talk • contribs) 01:28, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
Example for apples. When it using "this" you have just one apple in front of somebody that is being to unknowing what is an actual apple by signal, then you ensure it saying what is an apple (and so on for These). When it using "that" you have one apple between some things (whether or not they are apples) by signal, then you ensure it saying which one is an apple (and so on for Those). I think, this/these vs that/those take the different way to use when being needs for distinguise or not distinguise from other things but not when speaker is closer or far to the apple/apples. ¿Somebody talk something about it? -- 109.167.127.122 ( talk) 03:05, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
The article previously said something like this:
The word that is used in the formation of the restrictive relative clause, especially one identification. These words are used to modify an adjective, a noun, and a pronoun, to specify information about a subject or object.
