'So' is used to indicate a result, while 'so that' introduces a purpose clause. For example, "It rained so the ground was wet" uses 'so' to show a result, whereas "I opened the window so that the room could be aired" uses 'so that' to express a purpose.

How do conjunctions of purpose contribute to sentence coherence?

Conjunctions of purpose, such as 'so that' and 'in order that,' connect clauses by showing the reason or intention behind an action, thereby enhancing the logical flow and coherence of a sentence.

What is the function of conjunctive adverbs in complex sentences?

Conjunctive adverbs, such as 'however,' 'therefore,' and 'consequently,' link independent clauses and provide transitions, indicating relationships such as contrast, cause, or sequence.
