Purpose and Intention (In order to / So as to)
1/21¿Para qué utilizas herramientas como Microsoft Word o Google Drive? Piensa un minuto. Tal vez las utilizas para escribir importantes documentos o guardar los mismos. Estas son expresiones de propósito e intención que veremos a continuación.
Frases para expresar propósitos o intenciones en inglés
En inglés, para describir por qué o para qué utilizas una cosa o haces algo en particular, puedes utilizar las expresiones:

- So as to …
La primera es más frecuente, la segunda mucho más formal. Ambas son utilizadas junto a verbos infinitivos en forma “To + Verb”. Aunque no necesariamente el verbo debe tener el “To” delante para considerarse infinitivo.
