in order to与so that有什么具体区别

so that 与 in order that 的比较

（1）引导目的状语从句时,so that 与 in order that多数可以替换.区别有两点：句首不用so that,只用 in order that；逗号之后不用so that,只用 in order that.

（2）它们的句型转化分别是：

so that = so adj./ adv.as for sb.(not) to do sth

in order that = in order for sb (not) to do sth

（3）so that 引导目的状语从句与引导结果状语从句的区别:

a)目的状语常常还未发生；结果状语在主句谓语之后已经发生.

b) 目的状语从句谓语常用may,can,might,could等；结果状语多是did过去式.

c) 目的状语之前不能有逗号,结果状语之前可以用逗号.
