目的状语从句
1.定义
目的状语从句(adverbial clause of purpose),属于状语从句中的一种,从句部分是用以补充说明主句中谓语动词发生的目的的状语从句,目的状语从句的谓语常含有may, might, can, could, should, will, would等情态动词。
2、分类
目的状语从句的引导词主要有:
①in order that,表示“为了;以便”,常用于正式文体,引导的状语从句可位于主句之前或之后。
例如:You must speak louder in order that you can be heard by all.
你说话声音必须大一点,以便大家都能听到。
In order that we can start at seven, we all get up early.
我们都早点起床,以便我们可以七点钟出发。。
②so that表示“为了,以便”,位于主句之后,其中that有时可以省略。
例如:He angled his chair so that he could sit and watch her.
他斜移了椅子,以便坐着观察她。
Say it louder (so) that everyone can hear you.
大声说,以便大家都能听到你。
so that也可以引导结果状语从句,此时后面的从句不存在情态动词。
