Re: Parts of Speech Actually, because "that" describes the noun parrot, it is considered to be a demonstrative adjective (not pronoun).

Re: Parts of Speech Am I right, dear Ouisch, in interpreting your remark as pointing to a specific, modal/idiomatic usage of that in this case? That may imply an irritation here, can it?
