好让 (hǎoràng) means "in order to", and therefore expresses purpose. It is used in the following way:
action + 好让 + result
For example:
- 妈妈 晚上 总是 让 她 喝 牛奶，好 让 她 容易 入睡。
- 我 已经 把 数据 分 好 类 了，好 让 你 进行 分析。
- 你 要 说 得 很 清楚，好 让 他们 明白。
More generally, when placed before a verb and pronounced (hǎo), 好 denotes that it is easy to realize the given action. So literally, 好让 means "easy to let", which has to be said is not very intuitive. The following examples are a lot easier:
- 《庄子》 比 《老子》 好 懂，所以 我 建议 你 先 看 《庄子》。
- 这里 不 好 睡，太 吵 了。
- 很 多 汉语 的 语法点 真 不 好 解释!
