Talk:in order that

Ussage note

The subordinators which signal an action taken to secure an outcome need verb forms which imply the action was taken. Often this is accomplished via the use of a non-finite infinitive form so we allow, e.g.:

I hurried in order not to be late
I hurried so as not to be late

but not

   I hurried in order that I wasn't late
