How would you explain the uses of "that" in English, or the uses of the gerund, in a comprehensive way?

Specifically, how would you explain those uses to someone who is learning English in a way that offers some sort of logic or method?

For “that”: which types of syntactical units it connects and why
For the “gerund”: which types of grammatical units it creates and why

(I know someone who is wondering, and while I’ve offered some attempted explanations, I wanted to see what you guys would say.)
