Question below. Thank you. ''That is when he realized his calling in life was to help others.''
What's the subject of this sentence? What's the function of 'that'? Are That and When Noun Clauses? Is it a correct sentence---> That he realize his calling in life motivated him.

The sentence is 100% correct. - The subject of the sentence is "he" - "that" and "when" are both subordinate conjunctions "That" introduces a subordinate clause, therefore it does not function as a noun. "When" introduces a adverbial clause, therefore it does not function as a noun either.
This sentence is very correct ∆ the subject is "he" ∆ "that" is a subordinate conjunction ∆ "that" and "when" are both subordinate conjunctions "That" does not function as a noun in this context because it introduces subordinate clause "When" does not also function as a noun too because it introduces adverbial clause i.e indicating the timing of realization.
