Catherine's Grammar Explanation: To, for, so that:

Jackie and Elena are preparing for a weekend break. What are they taking, and why?
Jackie: Have we got everything we need for our trip?
Elena: Yes Jackie, we've got some water to make tea, I'm bringing some pots and pans for cooking,
and I'm taking some extra blankets so that we don't get cold.
Hi Selman! That's pretty good! Jackie and Elena are taking some water to make tea, some pots and
pans for cooking, and some extra blankets so they don't get cold.
In English, when we want to talk about purpose, or the reason why we do things, we can use to, we can
use for and we can use so that.
Firstly we can use for with an –ing verb. Here’s Elena:
Elena: I'm bringing some pots and pans for cooking…
She uses for with an -ing verb to say why she's bringing the pots and pans. Listen again:
Elena: I'm bringing some pots and pans for cooking
Secondly, we can use an infinitive with 'to'
Elena: we've got some water to make tea…
In this sentence, she uses an infinitive – to make – to say why they are taking the water. Listen again:
Elena: we've got some water to make tea
A third way to talk about reason or purpose is with so that. Here's Elena:
Elena: I'm taking some extra blankets so that we don't get cold.
Did you get it? So that is followed by a subject - we - and verb – don't get – to tell us why she's taking
the extra blankets.
Ok, let's recap. To talk about reason or purpose, we can use for with an -ing verb for objects, or for
actions, we can either use to with an infinitive or so that with a subject and verb.
Ok, that's all from me. Good luck with your grammar challenge!
