How do you begin a sentence with "to" in Creole? What word do you use to translate "to"? Eg: "To buy this car, you need $1000."

In this case, Creole speakers will use POU, POU KAPAB

Example:

1.  To  buy this car, you need $1000.
      Pou achte machin sa, ou bezwen mil dola.

2.  To fall asleep, I usually take a pill.
     Pou mwen dòmi, mwen konn pran yon grenn.

3.  In order to pass the exam, he had to study all night.
     Pou li kapab pase egzamen an, li te oblije etidye tout lannwit.

4.  To clean your hair, you'll have to wash it.
      Pou netwaye cheve w, ou dwe lave l.

5.  I'll need a pair of scissors to cut these wires.
     M'ap bezwen yon sizo pou koupe kab sa yo.
