D. Grammar: Use of “so…that” to express personal  Opinion

Using ‘so … that’

Use 'so that' to say you do something in order to make something else happen Example: We finished our homework so that we could watch TV.

Remember, 'so' + adjective + 'that' has a completely different meaning. Example: It was so heavy that I couldn’t lift it. You can leave out ‘that’. Example: It was so heavy I couldn’t lift it.

Write one sentence using the first sentence, 'so that' and the information in brackets to help you.

Example: Drink lots of water when you exercise. (It’s hot and you get thirsty.)

Answer: Drink lots of water when you exercise so that you don’t get thirsty.

3 Dad bought me a lamp. (It’s dark and I can’t read in my bedroom.)
