When is "that" a noun connector, and when is it an adverb connector?

It's all in the title.

Hi, It's all in the title. ( except 'please', if you'll forgive me or saying so. ) I'm not familiar with this use of the term 'connector'.

I think "which" is similar to "that" in many cases. So if I could understand the other question I think I will also understand the uses of both words.

Here is the question about which:

And sorry for not saying "please", I am just in a rush and I forgot to

Best not to do that. Just abbreviate in the header and repeat your full question inside the post. Otherwise it's too hard to answer. You have to keep scrolling up and down, and even then you can't see the whole thing, just the first words. Plus you can't quote it in the text of the answer, so later it will be hard to understand

Yes. You can use that the same as which except you can't use that when you have a non-restrictive clause (the ones with commas) and you can't use that instead of which after a preposition.

Hi,

yes, i meant "connector" as conjunction, as we used in TOEFL. How would we differentiate the function of the conjunctions (especially with "that") which would be followed by the Adjective clause or Noun clause?

thanks a lot,
