Clauses of Purpose

(What's that??)

Clauses of Purpose

• infinitive - She went running to get fit.

• because + subject and verb - She went running because she wanted to get fit.

• so that + subject and verb - She went running so that she could get fit.

Continue...

• so as to + infinitive (without to) - She went running so as to get fit.

• in order to + infinitive (without to) - She went running in order to get fit.
