For this newly added grammar point, I immediately remembered this sentence I saw on HiNative a few years ago: How do you say "彼とは結婚を前提に付き合っています。" in English (US)? | HiNative

I translated

彼とは結婚を前提に付き合っています。

to

I’m going out with him with marriage in mind.

Just a helpful additional sentence from a real native speaker (and also the first time I encountered this pattern - I remember it took me a few minutes to wrap my head around this at first… I even looked it up on BunPro but didn’t find anything at the time, but now we have been blessed!) :slight_smile:
