 Agenda
Purpose
01 You use a purpose clause when you want to state the purpose of the action in the
independent clause. The most common type of purpose clause is a to-infinitive clause

Reason
02 In your written and spoken assignments you will often need to answer the question
‘Why?’. When you want to explain why something happens, you can use a reason
clause.

03 Result
When you want to indicate the result of an action or situation, you can
use a result clause
