* In order to= so as to = to +V<infinitive>

So that + Clause

Cấu trúc : S1+ V1+ 01 +in order to / so as to/ to + V<infi> + C2

= S1+V1+ 01+ so that + Clause < S + can/could + V2+ O2>

Thực ra bạn có thể biến đổi linh hoạt giữa hai cấu trúc này vào bài làm của mình. Chú ý là ta dùng "can" khi mệnh đề trc ở HT hoặc TL và " could" khi Clause trc ở QK

Chú ý tiếp là sau cụm " in order to/ so as to/ to + V< infi> => V này là V chính của Mệnh đề thứ 2 nhé

Có thể thêm (not) trc to để tạo nên phủ định : in order not to / so as not to / not to

Bài này giúp em ôn luyện về các cấu trúc chỉ mục đích:

so as to = in order to + verb: để làm gì + động từ nguyên thể

so as not to = in order not to + verb: để không phải làm gì + động từ nguyên thể

so that: cũng là để làm gì, nhưng theo sau là Mệnh đề (ví dụ: câu 12)
