Can I put a "that" clause after "worry about"?
There is a sentence like "He worried about that the outsiders might have opinions."
Is it correct to say "worry about THAT....blabla"
I know that people usually have to say "worry about sth" or "worry that...".
But is it gramatically correct to put a "that" clause after "worry about"?
Thanks a million!!

The only way you can use "worry about that" is if you already established what you are worried about.
For example, if two people were talking and they said:
"I'm worried that I'll be late to class today."
"Yeah. I'm worried about that, too."

Other than that, it makes more sense to say sentences like "He worried that the outsiders might have opinions about him."
Hope this helped :)
