No. It doesn't modify anything. It adds another clause, which I suppose you could say modifies the whole main clause that comes before it, but only in the same way that subordinate clauses "modify" main clauses in some vague and general sense.

Sir,

We can join two objects and for that we can use something.

Is this paraphrase correct?

Thanks.
