Gerund and Infinitive

'In order to' isn't more precise. It doesn't provide any extra meaning. Neither is 'in order to' more professional-sounding than 'to'. The Cambridge Dictionary notes that the phrase 'in order to' is more common in writing than speaking.

In order to + verb

So write like you speak and ditch 'in order to' for 'to'.

Examples:

"She studied hard in order to pass the exam."

"In order to improve his health, he started exercising."

2. for

This is less formal and shows the purpose of a noun. It is used with nouns or gerunds (verbs ending in -ing).

For + noun / gerund

Examples:

"This gift is for you."
