CONJUNCTIONS OF GOALS

(KATA HUBUNG YANG MENYATAKAN TUJUAN)

Pada kesempatan ini akan dibahas materi tentang conjunctions (kata penghubung). Kata
penghubung yang akan dibahas yaitu so that, in order to dan to yang memiliki arti yang sama
yaitu agar/supaya (untuk menyatakan tujuan). Walaupun ketiga conjunctions tadi memiliki
arti yang sama tetapi penggunaannya dalam kalimat tetap perlu diperjelas.

Berikut adalah Penggunaan Conjunctions so that, in order to dan to. 

1. so that
Setelah conjunction so that, harus diikuti subject (I, you, they, we, she, he, it)
Examples:
- You need to drink a lot of water so that you will not get dehydrated.
   (Kamu harus minum banyak air supaya kamu tidak dehidrasi.)
- Please turn off the light so that I can get to sleep.
   (Tolong matikan lampu supaya saya bisa tidur.)
- You must study hard so that you can pass the examination.
   (Kamu harus belajar sungguh-sungguh supaya kamu dapat menyelesaikan ujian.)

2. in order to
Setelah conjunction in order to harus diikuti be/V1.
Examples:
- We have to study hard in order to be smart.
   (Kita harus belajar sungguh-sungguh supaya pintar.)
- My mother does exercise three times a week in order to keep fit.
  (Ibu saya berolahraga tiga kali seminggu supaya sehat.)
- The students woke up early in order to do homework.
   (Murid-murid bangun lebih awal agar mengerjakan PR.)

3. to
Setelah conjunction to harus diikuti be/V1.
Examples:
- She is using her hand phone to send a message to her friend.
  (Dia menggunakan telepon genggamnya untuk mengirim pesan kepada temannya.)
- I must study hard to pass the national examination.
  (Saya harus belajar sungguh-sunggung untuk menyelesaikan ujian nasional.)
- They wake up early to be on time to work.
  (Mereka bangun lebih awal supaya tepat waktu bekerja.)

Note:
- Conjunction to and in order to always are followed by a phrase.
  (Kata penghubung to dan in order to selalu diikuti oleh frasa atau kelompok kata)
- Conjunction so that is followed by a clause.
  (Kata penghubung so that selalu diikuti oleh klausa atau sekelompok kata yang
   mengandung subyek dan predikat.)
