Use of that

by akashkumar1987 » Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:48 am
Hi,

I am really confused with the use of "that" in sentences.

Below are the places where that can be used
1) As a pronoun
2) Modifier - Non Essential

I have seen that it is used at other places also.

Please clarify.

Thanks,
Akash

Akash,

That is a relative pronoun and is used for restrictive clauses. Hence it provides essential information. Which is the relative pronoun that is used for non-restrictive clauses.

Couple of other usages of "that":

1. As a Demonstrative Pronoun (not common on GMAT): That car is mine.

2. As a Conjunction (very common on GMAT): He said that he would work hard.
