Adverbial Clauses of Purpose

Klausa keterangan yang menyatakan tujuan. Seperti adverbial clauses lainnya, adverbial clauses of purpose juga tidak bisa berdiri sendiri. Ia membutuhkan main clause karena setiap adverbial clause adalah subordinate clause yang bersifat statis. Bersifat statis artinya anak kalimat tidak bisa berubah-ubah apabila kalimat secara utuh menjadi kalimat tanya atau kalimat negative.

in order that (agar supaya)
so that(sehingga)
for the purpose that (dengan tujuan)
in the hope that (dengan harapan)

Lantas dimana perbedaan antara adverbial clause of result dan adverbial clause of purpose karena keduanya menggunakan conjunctions yang sama?
