Grammar
Pushed me forward to...
Which are correct (the first three are supposed to have the same meaning and the second three are supposed to have the same meaning):
1) He put the bucket of water on the door to fall on my head when I entered.
2) He put the bucket of water on the door for it to fall on my head when I entered.
3) He put the bucket of water on the door so that it would fall on my head when I entered.
4) He pushed me forward to see better..
5) He pushed me forward for me to see better.
6) He pushed me forward so that I would see better.
'4' might mean 'he pushed me forward so that he would hear better'. That is not the intended meaning.
Gratefully,
Navi.
