What is the kind of clause of "that" in my example?

I always remember the day that I first met you.

  

Top answer

I always remember the day that I first met you . The underlined element is a relative clause, a type of finite subordinate clause that functions as a modifier of a nominal. The relative clause is functioning as an adjunct (adverbial) of time: "I always remember x day; I first met you on x".
