À propos de つもりで

つもりで, being a combination of the noun つもり 'intention', and the case marking particleで 'with', this structure is used in several different ways, depending on what comes before it. When combined with verbs, な-Adjectives or nouns in their plain forms, it implies that (B) is being done with the intention of (A).

As つもり is a noun, の will be required before it when grouped with other nouns, while な will be required when linked to な-Adjectives.

However, when paired with verbs in the past form, つもりで implies that the speaker is 'acting as though (A)', 'pretending that (A)', or 'is convinced that (A)'.

This meaning simply comes from the intention of something being contrary to what is actually true.

        Hey guys,

        can someone explain to me, why させる, the causative form of する is used in the following sentence:
        今月末までに完成させるつもりで、毎日努力をした。

        I don´t make someone else do something for me, so why causative?

        Sometimes the causative form is used to express strong will, like saying I will ‘get’ it done in English, where the ‘get’ implies that you will make sure you obtain the result even by forcing it to happen if you need to.
