I need your opinion on this sentence.
"That you should wear a hat is necessary."
I saw this sentence in a grammar part of my English book, maybe explaining that a that-clause can be substitute by '"it" and then be moved to the end. I understood this part well but suddenly, I thought that the sentence, "That you should wear a hat is necessary", is seemed to be duplicate. I mean, I think that It is okay to use either "You should wear a hat" or "That you wear a hat is necessary". However, that sentence is using both of them in mixing. So, I wonder if the top sentence is the same thing that I just offer. If not the same thing, I want to know the difference.
Thank you in advance.
