Grammar 1 (Verb-기 위해서)

Grammar 1 (Verb-기 위해서)
In this week, we learned ‘Verb-(으)려고’ which is used to describe the purpose. There is a similar grammar called ‘Verb-기 위해서’.

‘Verb-기 위해서’

‘Verb-기 위해서’ is also an expression used to describe the purpose and can be used in exchange for ‘Verb-(으)려고’. This grammar is used in conjunction with a verb, and both verbs with or without consonants are used as ‘-기 위해서’.
