the subjunctive of purpose.

_349._ RULE. Subjunctive of Purpose. _The subjunctive is used in a
dependent clause to express the purpose of the action in the principal
clause._

_350._ A clause of purpose is introduced as follows:

I. If something is wanted, by

/qui:\, the relative pronoun (as above)
/ut\, conj., _in order that, that_
/quo:\ (abl. of /qui:\, _by which_), _in order that, that_, used when
the purpose clause contains a comparative. The ablative /quo:\
expresses the measure of difference. (Cf. Sec. 317.)

II. If something is not wanted, by

/ne:\, conj., _in order that not, that not, lest_

_351._ EXAMPLES

1. Caesar copias cogit quibus hostis insequatur
_Caesar collects troops with which to pursue the foe_

2. Pacem petunt ut domum revertantur
_They ask for peace in order that they may return home_

3. Pontem faciunt quo facilius oppidum capiant
_They build a bridge that they may take the town more easily_
(lit. _by which the more easily_)

4. Fugiunt ne vulnerentur
_They flee that they may not_ (or _lest they_) _be wounded_

_352._ Expression of Purpose in English. In English, purpose clauses
are sometimes introduced by _that_ or _in order that_, but much more
frequently purpose is expressed in English by the infinitive, as _We eat
to live_, _She stoops to conquer_. In Latin prose, on the other hand,
/purpose is never expressed by the infinitive\. Be on your guard and do
not let the English idiom betray you into this error.
