Hi,
I have this litte tongue twister. Can someone confirm if I am correct?
Sentence: He said that that ‘that’ that that man used was wrong.
Break down of the "that" words:
Sentence: He said that that ‘that’ that that man used was wrong.
1. Introduce the "that" clause.
2. Act as an adjective to "that".
3. Introduce second "that" clause.
4. Act as an adjective to describe that man was wrong.
5. ‘that’ act as noun.
Sentence contains two "that" clauses, two "that" adjectives, and a "that" in quotes acting as noun.
And Happy New Year by the way! :-D
