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").
Examples
- 为了学好中文,他去了中国。
To learn Chinese well, he went to China.
- 为了健康,他每天运动。
For his health, he exercises every day.
- 为了考试,我每天学习。
For the exam, I study every day.
