That

What

I do not know what is meant in a sentence.

all, a thing, something, anything,

nothing, everything + that

Is there anything that you would like to say?

All that she did had suddenly no meaning.

(can be either used or omitted)

All (that)I know is that she is a liar.

replaces the interrogative Object, followed by the Predicate.

What I hate is laziness.

That + to be + who / why / what / where / when / how...

That is why you are so helpless.

What not… / what if / … / what about…

I do not care of ships, barques, brigs, schooners, and what not.
