Make a Plan So Someone Can Act例 · 你把酒店地址发给我
You send the address so your friend can find the restaurant. 好让 introduces the intended result: give them the information 好让他们找到地方. In a shorter pattern, 好 can go straight before the action you want to make possible. The first action sets up the second.
你把酒店地址发给我，好让我直接打车过去。

Hint · 힌트
好 here is a purpose linker, “so that.” Do not confuse it with 好 as an adjective meaning “good” or a result complement meaning “finish/get ready.”
