Questions & Answers about Je dois étudier pour réussir mon examen.
Why is there a pour before réussir?
In English, we often just say "to pass" to mean "in order to pass". In French, when you want to show the purpose or goal of an action, you use pour followed by the infinitive (unchanged) verb. So, pour réussir translates closely to "in order to succeed".
I thought "to pass" translated to passer. Why use réussir?
Why isn't étudier conjugated to match Je?
