Is that a conjunctions (N88)
Dear sir,
Accounts of death and disaster were everywhere at the time that he wrote it.
1. Is that a conjunction in the sentence?
2. Can I drop that from the sentence?
3. Why that is needed here --- at the time that he wrote it?
4. Can I consider the sentence as a restrictive clause?
5. Can I replace that with when?
Your help will be very much appreciated!
