ezfred0131  +  19266 Wed, 14 Jan 04 11:36 PM I've been a passive visitor to this forum for quite some time now. I must say I've learnt a lot visiting this forum and I thank everyone who've made this happen. Here's a question (my first question!) on whether 'that' can be used in the following: I'm going out to meet someone who I know. I'm going out to meet someone that I know. I'm going out to meet someone I know. make sure you get it done by eob today. make sure that you get it done by eob today. Could someone please tell me which among the above are valid constructs. Thanks in advance! ezfred0131 Joined on Wed, Jan 14 2004 New Member 13
