重点句型
To,In order to,So as to,So that,In order that表达目的几种方式
带to的不定式及in order to和so as to可以用来表示目的:
I went to live in France to/in order to/so as to learn French.
not to可以用来表示取舍:
I went to France not to study French, but to study chemics.
so as not to/in order not to可以用于表示“以防”:
I shut the door quietly, so as not to/in order not to wake the bady.
在bring,buy,need,take,use,want等动词后经常用宾语加to不定式,用来表示宾语的目的。
I need a spoon to eat this ice cream with.
连词so that,in order that可以引导目的状语从句。目的状语从句必须具备一个特征, 在动词前面一定要出现情态动词,当主句用一般现在时、现在完成时或一般将来时的时候,so that和in order that后面可以跟may,can或will;当主句用一般过去时、过去进行时或过去完成时的时候,so that和in order that后面可以跟should,could,might或would。
I’ve arrived early so that/ in order that I may/ can /will get the tickets.
I arrived early so that/in order that I might not miss anything.
当前后主语不一致时,不定式前面加for +名词/代词比that结构更简洁,不定式的逻辑主语for sb. to do sth.
He was barking for someone to let him out.
=He was barking so that someone would let him out.
