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wèi了le学xué好hǎo中zhōng文wén,他tā去qù了le中zhōng国guó。

    To learn Chinese well, he went to China.

  • 为wèi了le健jiàn康kāng,他tā每měi天tiān运yùn动dòng。

    For his health, he exercises every day.

  • 为wèi了le考kǎo试shì,我wǒ每měi天tiān学xué习xí。

    For the exam, I study every day.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
