-도록 can mark purpose or extent: 이해할 수 있도록 설명했어요 (explained so they could understand).
It also appears in “until” extent readings: 밤이 깊도록 이야기했어요.
More formal or written than everyday -게 in many purpose cases, but both appear in real Korean.
Watch collocations like -도록 하다 (have someone do / make sure that).
Level: intermediate. Read the pattern, say each example out loud, then write two new sentences of your own before moving on.
After you can produce the form, open related Chamelingo pages (vocabulary, conjugator, particles) so the pattern connects to words you actually study.
