Introduction

To-infinitiboareb egitura erabili dezakegu norbaiten asmoa adierazteko (ekintza baten arrazoia edo helburua).

Form

Asmo infinitiboan klausula nagusiaren subjektua eta ekintza egiten duena (infinitiboarekin adierazia) berdinak dira.

Asmo infinitiboaren egitura (to work) to-infinitiboaren berdina da (to work).

Asmoa adierazten duten egitura asko daude: to… /in order to… /so as to…

Ezezko forma egiteko, not gehitzen diogu to-infinitibioari.

  • I went outside to help my mom.
    I went outside not to help my mom. (to do something else besides helping my mom)
  • He called me to invite us to the beach.
  • We travelled to see our classmates.

 

  • I went outside in order to help my mom.
    I went outside in order not to help my mom. (avoiding to help my mom)
