Thank you very much.
But my question is "is it correct to say either "something separated..." or "something that is separated..."
Briefly, is it correct to use "that" ?

Jumanahis it correct to say
Questions like this need full sentences. I'm sure there are some sentences where both are possible, but that doesn't mean that both are always correct. Also, "something" is a very general word, and it helps if you provide a clearer idea of which thing you are actually talking about.
