接続・逆接N4
〜ように(目的)
so that... / in order to...
Structure
V-辞書形 / V-ない形 + ように
Explanation
Dictionary/nai-form + ように marks purpose, "so that...". Unlike ために, the clause before ように can be a state or potential form, and the subject may differ from the main clause (聞こえるように、大きな声で話す).
Examples
子供にもわかるように、簡単な言葉で説明しました。
I explained in simple words so that even a child could understand.
遅刻しないように、早めに家を出ます。
I leave home early so as not to be late.
Note
The clause before ように often uses potential, negative or stative forms; ために takes volitional verbs with matching subjects. They can only rarely be swapped.
