⚡️ "To" or "in order to"? #DoubtsForLater My students often bring up questions that I can't answer fully at the moment, so I save them and do research later. We don't know everything, do we? "To" and "in order to" are both used to express purpose or intention, but they have slightly different nuances: "To" is the most common way to express purpose or intention. It's simple and direct. Example: 🗣 I went to the store to buy milk. "In order to" is a more formal and emphatic way to express purpose or intention. It emphasizes the importance or necessity of the action. Example: 🗣 In order to succeed, you need to work hard. In most cases, you can use either "to" or "in order to" and the meaning will be the same. However, "in order to" can be more appropriate in formal writing or when you want to emphasize the purpose of an action.
