Questions & Answers about כדי להגיע למשרד החדש, צריך ללכת ישר ואז לפנות ימינה.

A very common Hebrew pattern is:
כדי + infinitive
as in:
- כדי ללמוד = in order to study
- כדי להבין = in order to understand
Those are all infinitives: to get/reach, to go/walk, to turn.
In Hebrew, the infinitive usually starts with ל־, so:
- להגיע = to get to / to arrive
- ללכת = to go / to walk
- לפנות = to turn
This sentence uses infinitives because:
- כדי is commonly followed by an infinitive
- צריך is also commonly followed by an infinitive
So צריך ללכת is literally need to go.
