When to use “afin de”/”afin que”?

All have roughly the same purpose, they indicate a goal/reason (pour) or a finality (afin), but they aren’t grammatically equivalent. One must stick to the following constructions:

  • afin de / pour + [verb in infinitive form]

  • afin que / pour que + [clause with a conjugated verb (subjonctive)]

  • pour + [noun]

Examples:

Afin qu’il s’améliore.
Pour qu’il s’améliore.

Afin de résoudre le problème.
Pour résoudre le problème.

Pour la gloire.
