no ni

 There are two main usages, either as contrast "even though" (MN45), or a "purpose" (MN42).

Purpose always uses dictionary form of the verb. 

Contrast uses plain form of the verb (note in case when the verb is in present tense, it would have same structure as Purpose, but cannot be confused because it will show contrast in the second clause.)
