Conjunction:
Purposes and Result
1. In order / so as + to-infinitive
To talk about the PURPOSE of something we can use in order / so as + to-infinitive:
□ He took the course in order to get a better job.
□ Trees are being planted by the roadside so as to reduce traffic noise.
In spoken English in particular it is much more common simply to use a to-infinitive
without 'in order' or 'so as' to express the same meaning:
□ He took the course to get a better job.
9
In order / so as + to-infinitive : Negative
■ To make a negative sentence with in order / so as + to-infinitive, we put not

before the to-infinitive:
□ He kept the speech vague in order not to commit himself to one side
or the other.
□ The land was bought quickly so as not to delay the building work.
■ You can't use a negative if you use only a to-infinitive:
□ I carried the knife carefully in order / so as not to cut myself, (not
...carefully not to cut...)
■ However, compare negative sentences with in order / so as / to-infinitive +
but:
□ I came to see you not (in order / so as) to complain, but (in order /so
as) to apologize.
10
In order that and so that
■ We also use in order that and so that to talk about PURPOSE.

Compare:
□ She stayed at work late in order / so as to complete the report, and
□ She stayed at work late in order that / so that she could complete
the report.
■ So that is more common than in order that, and is used in less formal
situations. Study these examples. Notice in particular the verbs and
tenses:
□ Advice is given in order that / so that students can choose the best
courses.
□ Did you give up your job in order that / so that you could take
care of your mother?
□ She hid the present in order that / so that the children wouldn't
find it.

mall sets the health protocol system.
■ The shopping mall sets the health protocol system in order to make

“In order that”
■ Office workers usually create a credit card in order that/ so that they
can make settlement of purchased gadget.

■ Study these examples with for or to-infinitive used to talk about

PURPOSE
13
So...that
We use so...that to link a CAUSE with a RESULT. In speech, 'that' is often

left out:
□ The train was so slow (that) I was almost two hours late.
□ It all happened so quickly (that) I never got a good look at his
face.
■ For special emphasis, particularly in formal English, we can put So ...
that at the beginning of a sentence and put the verb before the object
□ So slow was the train that I was almost two hours late.
□ So quickly did it all happen that I never got a good look at his
face.
■ We can sometimes use so...as + to-infinitive instead of so...that:
□ It was so unusual as to seem almost a joke. (= ...so unusual that it
seemed almost...)
