    The document discusses the uses of the words "to", "for", and "so that" when used with verbs and gerunds. It provides examples of how each conjunction connects a cause or reason with a result. "To" is used to indicate purpose or reason with an infinitive verb, such as "to get a degree" or "to buy food". "For" is used with a noun to indicate purpose or function, like "for a job interview" or "for doing exercises". "So that" is used to express a result when used with a modal verb or negative result, such as "so I don't have to walk" or "so she can't smoke".
