that ommission

[hooshdar3]

Hi.
"She always thank me for the money that I give her."
(from practical english usage)

Here Swan didn't by any means indicate that that could be omitted(he put that in paranthesis in the prev example).Isn't that ommittable here?why?

Please transcribe quotes accurately. If Swan put 'that' in brackets it means it is optional.
Therefore it can be omitted.

(The word 'omitable' [however you want to spell it] is non-standard.)

What should I've said in stead of omitable?
he did not put that that in brackets.

[Rover_KE]

You could say 'Can 'that' be omitted?'

Besides the "that" question, it should read "She always thanks me ..."

Thanks, Yes, you're right. It appears to be a small inconsistency. To me, "that" can be omitted from both sentences.

There's your answer, hooshdar3. You could also ask 'can I/you/we/one omit it?' (or the less formal 'Can I leave it out' - you'll find that phrasal verbs are usually preferred to latinate synonyms in informal situations). Alternatively, you can say 'Is it required/essential/necessary/needed...? or 'Do we have to use it?' - neither is the same question, but they lead to the same conclusion], or the rather formal 'Is it dispensable?' [which has the drawback that you may have to look it up - as I did - to check on whether it's -ible or -able )

Thank you.
Can that be omitted after all verbs?Say an example would be:

For a more realistic example, suppose the key can take any value in the range 0 to 65,535

Here it was suppose (that) I believe, But after what verbs can/cannot 'that' be omitted?
