Default Do u agree wid me..

1. "so that" for the purpose clauses; "so that" is also used, especially with a comma, to inform a result.

2. "So that" can denote a result or logical consequence; so it would seem to be ok here.


And some extra sentences supporting "SO THAT" expressing result or consequences:

The doctor explained the nature of my illness in medical terms, so that I didn’t understand fully. [result]

The doctor explained the nature of my illness in medical terms so that I wouldn’t understand fully. [purpose]

She studied very little ,so that she got a rather low grade. [result]They bought a large house, so that the children had their own rooms [result]

Many contestants later failed drug tests, so that the race had to be rerun. [result]
