Purposes and results: In order to, so as to and etc презентация

In order/so as + to-infinitive To talk about the purpose of an action; Ex.: He took a course in order to get a better job. In spoken English in particular it is much more common simply to use a to-infinitive without ‘in order/so as’ to express the same meaning; Ex.: He took a course to get a better job.

We usually use so as not to/in order not to instead of not+to-infinitive; We usually use so as not to/in order not to instead of not+to-infinitive; Ex.: I wrote down her name so as not to forget it. In contrastive sentences we can use not+to-infinitive, but+to-infinitive Ex.: I came to see you not (in order/so as) to complain, but (in order/so as) to apologise. ! We can put in order/so ass before the to-infinitive in sentences like this.

In order that and so that To talk about a purpose; ‘So that’ is more common than ‘in order that’, it is used in less formal situations; We can leave out ‘that’ after ‘so’, but we always include it after ‘in order’. Ex.: a) She stayed at work late in order/so as to compare the report. b) She stayed at work late in order that/so that she could complete the report.

We often use modal verbs after ‘in order that/so that’; We often use modal verbs after ‘in order that/so that’; A present tense verb in the main clause is usually followed by a present tense verb (or a modal with present or future reference – can, will, etc.) A past tense verb in the main clause is usually followed by a past tense verb (or a modal with past reference – could, would, etc.) Ex.: I hid the presents so that Marie wouldn’t find them.

Such that and in such a way/as to; such …. that ‘such that’ is used in formal contexts (academic writing) to introduce a result; Ex.: The model was designed such that the value of x would be calculated. ‘In such a way that/in such a way as+to-inf.’ we use in less formal contexts with a similar meaning; Ex.: Our business is managed in such a way as to minimise its environmental impact.
