Ý nghĩa của cụm từ “in order to”
Trước khi biết cách sử dụng cụm từ này, chắc chắn chúng ta phải hiểu nghĩa của nó phải không? “In order to” là một liên từ phụ thuộc trong Tiếng Anh, có nghĩa là “để, để mà”. Chúng ta sử dụng “in order to” với động từ nguyên thể để diễn tả mục đích của một việc gì đó.
Ví dụ 1: He arrives early in order to get a good seat. (Anh ấy đến sớm để có được chỗ ngồi tốt.)
Cách sử dụng cấu trúc “in order to”
Như đã nói qua ở trên, chúng ta sử dụng “in order to” để diễn tả mục đích của một hành động nào đó. Nói một cách cụ thể hơn, “in order to” có thể đưa ra mục đích của hành động hướng tới chủ thể hành động hoặc một đối tượng khác.
2.1. “In order to” đưa đến mục đích hướng vào chủ thể hành động
Cấu trúc: S+V+ in order (not) to + V…
Ví dụ: I study hard in order to get good marks. (Tôi học hành chăm chỉ để được điểm tốt.)
Mục đích của việc học hành chăm chỉ là cho chính nhân vật “tôi” đạt điểm tốt. Trường hợp này chính là đưa ra mục đích hướng vào chủ thể hành động.
2.2. “In order to” đưa đến mục đích hướng vào đối tượng khác
Cấu trúc: S+V+ in order for + O + (not) to + V…
Ví dụ: Sales would need to rise by at least 50% in order for the company to be profitable. (Doanh số sẽ cần tăng ít nhất 50% để công ty có lãi.)
Mục đích của việc doanh số tăng lên là hướng vào tương lai sau này của công ty. Vậy nên đây là mục đích hướng vào đối tượng khác.

Một số lưu ý khi sử dụng “In order to” khi viết lại câu
3.1. Cấu trúc “in order to” chỉ được áp dụng khi chủ ngữ của hai câu giống nhau
Ví dụ:
I talked to him. I will have a better understanding of the situation.
I talked to him in order to have a better understanding of the situation.
3.2. Nếu câu sau có các động từ want, like, hope… thì sẽ bỏ đi và chỉ giữ lại động từ sau nó
Ví dụ:
I will travel to Ho Chi Minh City. I want to meet my grandpa.
I will travel to Ho Chi Minh City in order to meet my grandpa.
Ý nghĩa và cách dùng cấu trúc “In order to” và “So as to”
Cấu trúc “In order to” và “so as to” có nghĩa là “để, để mà”, được dùng trong câu để giới thiệu về mục đích của hành động được nhắc đến ngay trước đó.
Ví dụ:
– I study English in order to speak to my English friend. (Tôi học tiếng Anh để nói chuyện với người bạn đến từ Anh)
– She works hard so as to have a better life in the future. (Cô ấy làm việc chăm chỉ để có được cuộc sống tốt hơn trong tương lai)
– He drove so fast in order to go to the meeting on time. (Anh ấy lái xe nhanh để đến cuộc họp đúng giờ)
Cấu trúc in order to và so as to trong tiếng Anh
1. Trường hợp 1: Khi mục đích của hành động hướng tới chính chủ thể của hành động được nêu ở phía trước
Ví dụ:
I worked hard. I wanted to pass the test. (Tôi học hành chăm chỉ. Tôi muốn đỗ kỳ thi.)
=> I worked hard so as to/in order to pass the test. (Tôi học hành chăm chỉ để đỗ kỳ thi.)
I worked hard. I didn’t want to fail the test. (Tôi học hành chăm chỉ. Tôi không muốn trượt kỳ thi.)
=> I worked hard in order not/so as not to fail the test. (Tôi học hành chăm chỉ để không trượt kỳ thi.)
2. Trường hợp 2: Khi mục đích hành động hướng tới đối tượng khác
S + V + in order + for O + (not) + to + V ….
Ví dụ:
– She works hard. She wants her kid to have a better life. (Cô ấy làm việc chăm chỉ. Cô ấy muốn con mình có cuộc sống tốt hơn.)
=> She works hard in order for her kid to have a better life. (Cô ấy làm việc chăm chỉ để con cô ấy có cuộc sống tốt hơn.)
– In order for the light to work, you must press the button. (Để đèn hoạt động, bạn phải bật công tắc).
3. Một vài lưu ý về cấu trúc so as to/ in order to trong tiếng Anh.
– Cấu trúc in order to/ so as to chỉ áp dụng được khi 2 chủ từ 2 câu giống nhau
Ví dụ:
I always get up early. I don’t want to go to work late. (Tôi luôn dậy sớm. Tôi không muốn đi làm muộn).
=> I always get up early so as not/in order not to go to work late. (Tôi luôn dậy sớm để không phải đi làm muộn).
– Bỏ chủ từ và các từ như want, hope, … và giữ lại từ động từ sau nó khi dùng cấu trúc in order to, so as to.
Ví dụ:
I have taken many extracurricular activities. I want to improve my soft skills. (Tôi tham gia rất nhiều hoạt động ngoại khoá. Tôi muốn cải thiện các kỹ năng mềm của mình).
