Rule of Syntax 17. — Infinitive of Purpose.
When the Infinitive in English expresses a purpose, it is generally translated by ut with the Subjunctive — never by the Infinitive; examples:
- I fight to save my life, or I fight that I may save my life, Pugno ut vitam meam conservem.
- I fought to save my life, or I fought that I might save my life, Pugnavi ut vitam meam conservarem.
