Thread: Хорошее объяснение употребления частицы <<чтобы>>

The conjunction can be used to express a purpose or for objective clauses, like Latin "ut".

Commonly, in english, something like 'in order' as in, 'in order to', when used with infinitive. Different meaning with past tense, like 'that'.

See this, about чтобы.
