HSK 3 Prepositions (coverbs)

为了

In order to with 为了

Structure 为了 + goal,+ action

为了 (wèile) introduces the PURPOSE, the "what for" of an action, and goes at the start: 为了学好中文,他去了中国 = "to learn Chinese well, he went to China". What follows 为了 is the goal; the action comes after. Don’t confuse it with 因为 (which gives the CAUSE, the "why").
