I couldn’t understand grammatical aspect.?
“I recall from our initial meeting that the choices for that seemed to be reasonably priced and of high quality”
I think the “recall” uses as verb and this has idiom which is “recall that”,
after “that”, it should have perfect sentence. but this sentence is not like that. so, I don’t know how to consider this sentence to understand.
could you pleased tell me how to consider this sentence from grammatical aspect?

"recall that" is not an idiom. The clause starting with "that" is a noun clause. It take the place of a noun.
"I recall 1999." The clause replaces a noun like "1999".
I have no idea what you mean by a "perfect sentence". "Perfect" usually means completed, but in English the "perfectives" are the verbs with "have" as the auxiliary.
From our initial meeting, I recall that the choices of home furniture available seem to be reasonably priced and of high quality.
IT'S A BADLY-WRITTEN SENTENCE.
asdf: write the sentence the way you expected it to be, so we can understand what you mean.
Not sure what you don't understand. If "perfect" sentence means complete sentence, this does have that, following "I recall...that": "The choices for that seemed to be reasonably priced and of high quality." That's a complete sentence.
