Grammar Rules

Subjunctive verb

لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ (That you may go along) is in the subjunctive mood — it comes after a particle like أن ("that") or لن ("will not"), which changes its ending.

We translate it as "to [verb]" or "that [someone] [verb]".

L10 Commands & Future

Purpose لِ (so that)

لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ (That you may go along) starts with لِ showing purpose — it means "so that" or "in order to".

We add "so that" or "in order to" before the verb.
