so that和in order to的区别

so that一般是结果状语或结果状语从句，in order to一般引导目的状语

两者均可表示【为了】
in order to +动词原形 /so that+句子【两者可转换】如：
He said in a loud voice in order to make us hear clearly.
He said in a loud voice so that we can hear clearly.

so that，inorder to 意思都是： 为了。。。；以至于 。。
so that 后接一个完整的句子
in order to +动宾短语

so that 后面是加的完整的句子。

in order to 后面加动词原形。

I got up early in the morning so that I could catch the first bus to school.
I got up early in the morning in order to catch the first bus to school.

此外同样表示为了的意思的还又
so as to 后面接动词原形,表示结果.
so that后面接从句,表示结果.
in order to 后面接动词原形,表示目的.
in orde that后面接从句,表示目的.
