In French, there are three different types of relative sentences: the “completive”, the subordinate relative and conjunctive sentences.
Let's see the differences:

*The “completive” introduced by the relative pronoun “que” completes a verb.
Example:
Je sais que tu viendras.

*The subordinate relative introduced by the relative pronoun “que” completes a noun.
Example:
La photo que je regarde est fantastique.

*The conjunctive sentences are introduced by a conjunction of subordination or a “locutive” conjunction
Example:
Je suis sûr de gagner parce que je suis le meilleur.
J'exige que tu viennes ce soir.
Je te donnerai une réponse quand je saurai.
