Usage notes
The term "genom att" can be followed either by a subordinate clause, determining the word class of the both words together to a subordinator (by analogy to därför att), or by an infinitive, leaving "genom" being a preposition, and "att" the infinitive marker. There is no English subordinator equivalent to "genom att" in the former case, and the translation will result in a different construction, such as the preposition "by" + gerund.
