Did you know that “that” is completely overused in writing?

For example: I told her that I could find out what time that we were arriving.

Better: I told her I could find out what time we were arriving.

It’s very simple. Try to say the phrase or sentence without the word “that,” and if it sounds fine without it, don’t use it. Your words will flow so much better without it.
