You probably have seen ‘는 거’ or ‘은 거’ before. 거 is a conversational way to say 것 which means ‘stuff or thing’. So, ‘는 거’ can be translated as ‘the thing that verb/adjective’ or ‘verb-ing’. For example> 매운 거 안 좋아해요. I don’t like spicy stuff. 맛있는 거 줄까요? Would you like to have something that is delicious? 오늘은 바쁜데 내일 만나는 거 어때요? How about meeting tomorrow, I am pretty busy today. 혹시 안 먹는 거 있어요? By any chance, do you have something that you don’t like to eat? 저는 노래 듣는 거 좋아해요. I like listening to music.

-(으)러 and -(으)려고 occurs after verbs(not adjective); they mean ‘purpose’ or ‘in order to~’. Although they have the same meaning, there is a difference. -(으)러 can only be with 가다/오다/다니다(go/come/go frequent). If you want to use other verbs, you should use ‘-(으)려고’. However -(으)려고 can’t be used with suggestive and imperative(order) sentence. I made a table to show you the difference between -(으)러 and -(으)려고.
And -(으)려고 can be with 하다 : -(으)려고 하다 it means ‘be about to do’.
