Showing
Purpose
Weil (because) + a dependent
clause shows the reason for an action; however, damit
and um.zu (so that, in order to) show
the goal of an action. Damit is also followed by a
dependent clause, whereas um.zu introduces an infinitive.
Sie macht das Fenster zu, damit sie
nicht friert. = Sie macht das Fenster zu, um nicht
zu frieren.
She closes the window, so that she won't freeze .
= She closes the window, in order to not freeze.
Commonly, you use damit when the subject
of the main clause is different from the subject of
the dependent clause, and um.zu when the understood
subject of the infinitive is the same as the subject
of the main clause. |
