Object clauses introduced by that
An object clause functions as the object of a sentence.
宾语从句是指在复合句中充当宾语的句子。
We use that to introduce an object clause that is a statement.
我们可以用that引导宾语从句,此时从句部分相当于一个陈述句。

Object clauses introduced by that
E.g. I think (that) blue is better than pink.
“I am feeling blue” means (that) “I am feeling sad”.
Did you think (that) your favourite colour matches your
characteristics?
In informal English we often drop that.
