The word 'that' is a pronoun, an adjective, an adverb, and a conjunction.

The pronoun 'that' is a demonstrative pronoun and a relative pronoun.

A demonstrative pronoun takes the place of a noun, indicating near or far in place or time.

The demonstrative pronouns are: this, that, these, those.

Example: I would like some of that.

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause; a relative pronoun "relates" to the word that it modifies, providing additional information about the antecedent without starting another sentence.

The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

Example: The shoes that I bought will match the new suit.

The word 'that' is an adjective (determiner) when placed before a noun to describe the noun as a specific one.

Example: I like that color.

The word 'that' is an adverb when used to modify a verb, an adjective, or an adverb as to such an extent.

Example: The trip won't take that long.

The word 'that' is a conjunction when used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences.

Example: It was the first time that my parents came for a visit.
