Where a noun phrase is modified by a relative clause which it is not the subject of, the relative pronoun or relativiser ("who", "which", "that") is often omitted.



After verbs like "know", the "that" of an object clause is often omitted.



Here you have two "that"s omitted:




The (something) [that] I didn't know [that] I needed.
