When you use it
Use these clauses to show the intended purpose or goal of the action in the main clause, introduced by words such as so that, in order that, in order to, for fear that, or lest.
Watch out
Do not confuse clauses of purpose with clauses of cause or result. Remember that conjunctions like lest and for fear that express a negative purpose without needing extra negative words.

10 multiple-choice questions written against this chapter, each with its answer and the reason. Try one before you open the answer.
Question 1
According to the Human Rights Watch report (2018), where do Ethiopian migrants encounter exploitation and torture?
Answer: A Yemen
Why
The listening passage says Ethiopians who make the perilous journey by boat "encounter exploitation and torture in Yemen by a network of trafficking groups." Addis Ababa is where migrants are deported to, not where the torture happens.
Question 2
According to the reading passage, what are identified as the main driving forces behind Ethiopian migration?
Answer: A Lack of decent livelihood and employment opportunities
Why
The passage says that economic and political violence, ecological degradation, drought and human rights abuses all contribute, but "lack of decent livelihood and employment opportunities are identified as the main driving forces."
Question 3
Which word has the diphthong [ai], as in the word "time"?
Answer: C life
Why
The pronunciation section gives [ai] in words such as time, life and wife. Words such as day, bay and say have the [ei] sound instead.
Question 4
According to the summary writing guidelines in this unit, how much of the original text should a good summary be?
Answer: B one-third
Why
The guidelines say: "Make sure that one-third of the original text is a good summary." Your summary should be about one-third of the length of the original.
Question 5
According to the Human Rights Watch interview, about 10,000 Ethiopians per month were deported from Saudi Arabia to Ethiopia. Between which dates did this happen?
Answer: A May 2017 and March 2019
Why
The listening passage states that about an average of 10,000 per month "were deported from Saudi Arabia to Ethiopia between May 2017 and March 2019." The passage also says the deportation has continued up to the present.
Question 6
In which year did the government of Ethiopia impose a ban on migration to the Middle East?
Answer: B 2013
Why
The reading passage says: "The government of Ethiopia imposed a ban on migration to the Middle East in 2013." The passage also says the law did not reduce the problem. The year 2016 appears in the text only for the figure about January 2016 in Yemen.
Question 7
Which sentence connector means "as a result"?
Answer: D consequently
Why
The unit lists "consequently" and "as a result" as cause and effect connectors. Both show that something happened because of an earlier cause. "Although," "whereas" and "unless" show contrast or condition, not cause and effect.
Question 8
Which conjunction introduces a clause of purpose?
Answer: C so that
Why
A clause of purpose tells you why the action in the main clause is done. The unit lists "so that" as one of the conjunctions used for purpose, for example: "Our farmers are these days using new technologies ... so that they can save time and energy."
Question 9
Choose the phrasal verb that correctly completes this sentence from the unit: "The second group are people who ___ the limit when they argue with others for or against a given issue."
Answer: B go beyond
Why
"Go beyond" is the phrasal verb from the list that fits the sentence. The people in this group pass the limit when they argue. The other options do not fit the meaning of passing over a limit.
Question 10
Which sentence has the correctly written compound word?
Answer: B The commanders-in-chief in all war fronts have never lived their own life.
Why
In a compound noun such as "commander-in-chief," the main word takes the plural. Here the main word is "commanders," so the plural form is "commanders-in-chief." The other options either pluralise the wrong part or do not match the subject.
