How to Say ‘So that I can submit it to my colleagues’ in French

Pour que je le soumette à mes collègues

poor kuh zhuh luh soo-MET ah may koh-LEG

[poor kuh zhuh luh soo-MET ah may koh-LEG]

💬 Usage Tip: After pour que, the verb takes a special form. That's why it's je le soumette here, not the usual je le soumets. The same thing happens in pour que vous puissiez "so that you can".
