Notes -아/어서, as a sequential marker, can occur between two clauses denoting intrinsically linked actions or states. In such expressions, the intrinsic link implies that the state or action marked by -아/어서 allows the second state/action to take place.

In this sequence marking role, -아/어서 can be used in imperative or propositive sentences where the action in question consists of two tightly linked actions.
