Good morning.
Today I'll teach you a phrase that you might here often in everyday conversation. It is a predictive phrase meaning that it is shown a belief that something will happen in the future. It is not formal English but is used often. Also, notice That the word 'that' can have a different usage.
Phrase
'But what'
Instead, use that. NONSTANDARD: I do not doubt but what I will succeed. CORRECT: I do not doubt that I will succeed.
Practice
I really can not believe anything but what she'll come and visit.
I really can not believe anything other than she will come and visit.
I do not doubt but what I'll succeed.
I do not doubt that I will succeed.
I can not think but what it will rain tomorrow.

I know he will do but what is good for everyone.
I know he will do that that is good for everyone.
I feel that he will come to our school.
I can not feel anything but that he will come to our school.
I know this phrase is not see easy to learn and use. But, I wanted you to know about it because you might hear it when talking to a native English speaker (especially an American).
That's all for today.
Goodbye for now.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
