Grammar
Phrases of purpose
Please do help me! Thanks in advance.
Here is my question:
“He tried his best. He wanted his parents to be pleased.”
Can I do like this:
Among the three options, I prefer “B. in order for sb. to inf”
I am wondering if “so as for sb. to inf” or “for sb. to inf” is correct or not.
However, I know that using “so that” sounds best here.
