🎯 Grammar A2-28: Infinitive of purpose

The twenty-eighth material of the Fleydo A2 grammar series. It treats the reason for an action as a movable piece of the sentence with one fixed shape: the word to, then a verb with nothing added to it — no -s, no -ed, no -ing, whoever acts and whenever they act. A table runs the same three words down six rows of different people and tenses so that the learner can see the shape refusing to change, and a second table shows the same half standing alone as a complete answer to a why question. A four-question procedure and two worked examples then build the decision an expert really makes, and the second worked example deliberately ends in a sentence with two correct answers, to get a hammer and for a hammer, because that is where the topic actually lives. The compare-and-verdict pair that follows is the heart of the lesson: to + verb against for + noun, both correct, both answering why, with the impossible mixture for buy bread named and killed. A separate section moves the reason to the front of the sentence, comma and all, with six reveal cards that make the learner commit before checking. Practice is spread over four sets of eight, seven, eight and eight items, every single one carrying its own explanation, plus ten reasons to sort into to and for, six real errors to repair and four traps. A tap-and-explain story about building a bird table in the school garden shows thirteen choices working together in natural writing. Teacher notes give a 45-minute sequence, the four-endings board move, what to do with a stuck learner, why the for + -ing error is so stubborn, and the Cambridge A2 Key relevance.
