GRAMMAR FOCUS
To make my mum happy, I called my grandma.
To tell you the truth, I didn't want to call my grandma.
The first expresses a purpose and tells us why the speaker did something. It is the same as saying:
I called my grandma in order to make my mum happy.
The second is a linking phrase and does not express a purpose. It is the same as saying:
Really. I didn't want to call my grandma.
Listen to these people making statements using infinitives.
Decide if they are using infinitives of purpose by circling the correct answer.
Speaker 1 a expressing a purpose b not expressing a purpose Speaker 2 a expressing a purpose b not expressing a purpose | Speaker 3 a expressing a purpose b not expressing a purpose Speaker 4 a expressing a purpose b not expressing a purpose | Speaker 5 a expressing a purpose b not expressing a purpose Speaker 6 a expressing a purpose b not expressing a purpose |
