Optional "that"?
Hi. Please help. Is the word "that" optional in these sentences? I think the word "that" is optional for nos 1 and 2, but I am not sure about nos. 3 and 4.
1. I remember you mentioned (that) you will come to visit us.
2. I saw the person (that) I saw yesterday at the meeting.
3. I was given an impression (that) there was a problem.
4. It confirms his claim (that) the damage was minimal.
