"In a bid"

Thank you very much.

Wait, winston. I've given you the wrong example. In the one I gave 'put in a bid' means something else.

You may be right, winston. "in a bid" and "in order to" don't seem to co-occur. However, their semantics do in fact differ. Here's a better example for you. To me 'in a bid' means an attempt, and that attempt is a strategic move.

Ex: Hillary Clinton turns to Chelsea in a bid to soften her image. Source

All the best.

'In a bid' =in an effort

Why don't you give us the whole sentence?

Then just like I said we can put "in order to" instead of "in a bid".
I can see this "In a bid" in many articles in daily news paper.

Hello Queen,
I think you were waiting for this movement.See, if I know everythig perfectly why I should ask teacher.When I am unaware about one thing,I should beleive whatever teacher says.Isn't it?Even if teacher says milk is black,I must believe.Because I am unaware about milk. I am really satisfied, because you have got a chance to be happy.
You have really done very good job in this thread.ok.

winston, you should ask, ask, and ask again, until whatever it is you're looking to understand makes sense to you.

All the best.
