目的状语从句是一种从属从句，用来表达主句中的动作或状态的目的或意图。它通常由“so that”、“in order that”、等引导，放在主句之后。常可以转化成不定式 in order to, to do, for the purpose of，构成简单句。

以下是一些例句：

• I’m studying hard so that I can pass the exam.
  （我正在努力学习，以便能够通过考试。）
• She bought a new dress in order that she could look nice at the party. = She bought a new dress in order to look nice in the party.
  （她买了一条新裙子，以便在聚会上看起来漂亮。）
• We’re saving money for the purpose of buying a new car.
  （我们正在存钱，为了购买一辆新车。）

在目的状语从句中，动词通常使用“can”或“could”，表示能够或可能实现目的。需要注意的是，目的状语从句中的主语通常与主句的主语一致。

目的状语从句有助于表达主语的意图或目的，使语言更加清晰明了。例如，如果没有目的状语从句，上述例句可能会变成：

• I’m studying hard.（我正在努力学习。）
• She bought a new dress.（她买了一条新裙子。）
• We’re saving money.（我们正在存钱。）

这些句子缺少了目的状语从句，使得读者无法准确理解主语的目的或意图。因此，目的状语从句在英语中是非常重要的一种语法结构。
