Hi
It's my first post here .
I want to ask about the difference between 'That ' as a subordinating conjunction and as relative pronoun . How can i know the difference between both of them ??
for example :
I didnt know that a business like this need much working capita.
Please dont make that kind of mistake .
How do you know that ?

Either your terminology or your understanding is a bit confused, Mystery. 'That' is not always considered one of the relative pronouns (who, what, which), but when it is, it is simultaneously serving as a subordinating conjunction.
In 'I didn't know that a business like this needs much working capital', that' is both a relative pronoun and a subordinating conjunction, and is identified as such by the clause it heads.
In 'Please don't make that kind of mistake', 'that' is a demonstrative adjective, and is recognized by its inclusion in the noun phrase 'that kind (of mistake)', where it premodifies the noun 'kind'.
