Hi there,

what is the difference between the two following sentences? Is there a difference at all?

1. I've come to see you.

2. I've come in order to see you.

Thanks in advance!

In order means that that is the sole purpose of going there, it suggests a determination and purpose, and it also suggests that there is a serious purpose. I've come to see you does not have the same formality/sense of deliberate seriousness!
