The word that may be either, a pronoun or an adjective:

  • The pronoun 'that' is a demonstrative pronoun; a word that takes the place of a noun indicating relative nearness or distance in time or place. The demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these, and those.
Example sentence: That is my favorite movie.
  • The pronoun 'that' is a relative pronoun, a word that introduces a relative clause; a relative pronoun "relates" to the word that it modifies, providing additional information about the antecedent without starting another sentence.
Example: The movie that I like is on tonight.

.

  • The adjective 'that' is a word that is placed before a noun to describe the noun. The use as an adjective can be identified when the adjective is placed in front of the noun it describes.
Example sentence: That movie is my favorite.
