- Today we continue our lesson on double words in a sentence. Double words in a sentence look weird at first glance and may even confuse the reader.
This certainly is an awkward construction, but today we’ll tackle another pair of double words: the double that.
When you see the double that in a sentence, you are actually seeing two clauses working together to form that complete thought.( Remember that a clause has both a subject and a verb.) And the first that, is usually a subordinating conjunction. And the second that is a different part of speech. The second that can be demonstrative adjective (determiner), a pronoun, or an adverb.
Examples are given.
This is a fascinating lesson. I've always wondered about this.
Thank you! It’s an interesting topic. 😊

I think (that) you made a mistake. We can remove the first that, not the second one. Am I right? Thanks.
No mistake was made. The examples showed how the second that could be removed/replaced. If you're referring to removing the "that" in the relative clause, then yes, the first "that" may be omitted. Hope this clarifies your question.
@@thelearningdepot Yes, you got me.

India is in action is very active.
What is "in action " here.
Here preposition phrase is working like what????
It looks like what you’re trying to say is this. India is in action AND is very active. If this is what you’re going for, then “in action” is an idiomatic preposition.
Sorry mam
That sentence was this
India in action is very active.
Now tell .
"In action" is what
Adverbial or adjectival
@@Aanit6736 I think I understand what you're asking, although the sentence construction is awkward and should be reworded.
India in action is the subject. The "in action" preposition is acting as an adjective.
