Can someone tell how to make a difference btw nominal that clause and other clauses when they all begin with that.
Ex.
1. Everyone tends to think that he is not sufficiently appreciated.
2. Everyone that thinks so is not necessarily conceited.
3. My opinion that you disagree with so strongly has not been properly represented.
4. My opinion that no action need to be taken yet, is shared by most of us here.
