Grammar
'so that' clause used as a complement
I have been advised by a senior member in other site.
Below is the content advised.
The Forum rules say "Ask about only one topic in each thread".
This is so you can give the thread a very specific title and make it easier for others to find the answers that are given.
I'd like to know 'so that' clause, 'final clause' is used as a complement like as 'because' clause.
For reference, complements modify subjects or objects.; English grammar terms in Korea are quite different than those in America.
ex) This is because you are always late.
In advance, thank you fore your help.

Hello Park Sang Joon. I wouldn't be very happy with your definition of a complement, and that makes your question difficult to answer helpfully. Are you unclear about the explanation given you in the other forum?

Thank you for your post.
It's a long time since I posted.
I'd like to know whether 'so that' clause in my first post was used as an adverbial clause or a noun clause.
My answer is the later of your question.

In Korea, the 'complement' consists of 'subjective complement' and 'objective complement'
I will explain the 'subjective complement' in question.
The 'subjective complement is followed by 'linking verb' like the verb 'be' and is a 'adjective (phrase)' or 'none (phrase)'.
In the following sentences, the phrases, words or clauses in bold are the 'complements'
I am a b
