ut: as, in order to, or so... that?
With an indicative verb means 'as'. With a subjunctive it means purpose or result, and the word before it usually tells you which.
The rule
+ indicative is a comparison or a time: , as I said. + subjunctive with no signal word is usually purpose: in order to. + subjunctive after , , or is result: so... that. Check the verb's mood first, then look back for the signal word.
