7 That’s in a row
What’s the most times you can repeat the same word consecutively in a sentence and still retain meaning? Here’s a sentence with 7 words in a row.
It remains true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to.
Anyone for any more?
the last sentence is too hard to understand.but i think subject in sentence remain meaning.
I agree with you that It remains true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to.
I tell my students to say “He also arrived at 13.58” in a different way. The answer is, of course, “He came at two to two, too”.
It remains true for all that that that that that that that that strongly refers to is wrong.
Can I try this? “I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know”.
Hey i want this watch but but i cant but its ok but ……..
In the English exam, John, where James had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’. ‘Had had’ had had the examiner’s approval.

Buffalo – can be repeated 8 times.
“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Actually, Els, Buffalo can be repeated an infinite number of times, and it has been proven to do so.
the one about had was on the radio
Actually, the word ‘that’ can be repeated eight times in a sentence. As in:
Is, considering all that, that that that that that that that refers to?
As an additional comment, if you want to use ‘that’ seven times in a sentence, perhaps it’s easier to understand as a question than a statement. As in:
Is that that that that that that that refers to?
As you can see, adding the eighth ‘that’ is simply an expansion of this question. I think it works.
Thanks for checking and posting this.
