So That as a Result
Sa chaoi go introduces a resulting arrangement or outcome: Labhair go soiléir sa chaoi go dtuigfidh siad thú. Context distinguishes result from purpose.
How It Works
Sa chaoi go introduces a resulting arrangement or outcome: Labhair go soiléir sa chaoi go dtuigfidh siad thú. Context distinguishes result from purpose.
Sa chaoi go introduces an arrangement, intended effect or result. The go clause has a dependent verb. The main action and context determine whether the effect is a goal or an achieved consequence; do not force all examples into one English so-that interpretation.
