What is the grammatical form and function of "that" and what does it refere to?
  

Top answer

"that" is a determiner; it modifies "perfect sentence". Since no perfect sentence has previously been mentioned in the text, "that" in this case refers to the concept of a "perfect sentence" that we are supposed to already understand from experience or common knowledge.
