Agreement of pronouns
A pronoun agrees with the word to which it refers in gender and number; its case depends on its use in its own clause
When a relative clause of purpose can be used and the exception when it cannot be used
Whenever the relative pronoun can, without changing the meaning, be made to agree with a noun or pronoun in the main clause. The exception is when the relative pronoun would have to agree with the subject of an active main verb.
Rules for the tense of a relative clause or purpose
The same as for regular ut-clauses of purpose.
