Dear teachers,

Please read:

Can I quote you on that? (1)

What does (1) mean? What “that” here refer to?

Thanks

Hi Quoc

"That" refers to what someone has just said.

Dear teacher,

Can I say:

Can I quote you on it?

If yes, "Can I quote you on it?" and "Can I quote you on that" have the same meaning?If not, why?

Hi Quoc,

Surely you knew that, didn't you?

My teacher said the same because that = it.

How about your idea?

I can't distinguih the diference btw "that" and "it". Is there a case they have the same meaning and interchangeable? Please give me an example.

Hi,

Most of your questions are very short sentences or even phrases and they are as a result difficult to comment on because they are not part of a context. It would be much better if you could ask your question within a longer piece of prose or narrative and that way you would then get better information.
