Relative pronoun ‘that’ in this sentence
Hello, experts!
Could you read the following sentence?
“Is that a house that they are moving?”
This is a question someone said when he was very surprised to see some people moving an entire house with bamboo poles while traveling around the Philippines.
My question is this:
(1) Is the second ‘that’ a relative pronoun?
(2) If that is the case, is the relative pronoun clause modifying the first ‘that’ in this sentence?
If you could help, it would be great.
