想表示两件事，一件事儿的目的是去为了做另外一件事儿，这个时候呢，大家可以写出来两个普通的简单句，然后把它们进行合并。学习语言的过程当中的最好的一种方式就是从已知的推出未知的，这样可以帮助大家逐渐的打好这个基础，然后不断的进行提高，那怎么样从已知的变成未知的呢？就是我们不会直接写这个，但是呢，我们至少会写两个简单句，两个普通的简单句写好之后，把它一合并就变成下面的这2种样子。

五种方式 ^{分成两大类(词组与从句)}

词组：这3组词完全没有区别，意思都一样可以任意替换。合并简单句时两件事的主语必须要相同，把相同的主语省掉，变成一个词组表示目的。
从句：后面可以加上一个句子，引出目的状语从句，有一个特点，句当中必须要有情态动词就可以了。

从句对于句子主语是没有任何要求的，也就是两件事主语相同啊，不相同啊，随便都可以合并成这个句子来表示目的。但这个从句当中必须要有情态动词。那情态动词加什么呢？取决于你要表达的意思，你可以加入不同的情态动词，你看我们之前学过对吧，应该可用should是吧，需要可以用need，再比如说还有什么的能够啊，Could等等等等，你可以用不同的情态动词，总而言之，加个情态动词就行了。

bring，buy，need，take，use，want ^{等动词后经常用宾语加 to 不定式，用来表示宾语的目的}
