As I pointed out in class,
a common mistake you often make when speaking and writing in English is using the infinitive of purpose in a wrong way, that is to say, trying to use '
for' instead of a '
to-infinitive' when you want to
express purpose.
Examples:
- He's looking for a part time job to save some money.
- She wakes up early to be on time for work.
- They exercise regularly not to get fat.
So, here you have some
exercises to practise the use of purpose in English.
