A QUESTION TO ALL OF YOU!!!

Hello my friends!!!
I �d like to know if you have a nice way to explain the difference between IN ORDER and SO AS.
I have trouble explaining, so if you have any suggestions, or even a worksheet so I can download I �ll be thankfull.
Have a nice day!

If I am not wrong:
in order to: subjet of the main and clause sentence is the same
so as: subject of the main and clause sentence is different

Actually, they are both exactly the same.
eg. He is studying hard in order to pass his exams.= He is studying hard so as to pass his exams.
They are both used when talking about the same person.
If you have different subjects then you use so that.
eg. The teacher is making us study hard so that we can pass our exams.
I hope I �ve been of some help to you.
Best regards,

fkafetz is absolutely right. I mistook "so as" for "so that". Sorry... |
