Subject matters. The gerund fits an impersonal or passive sentence. When the same named subject does both actions, use an agreeing half-participle in careful writing: Remdamasi duomenimis, ji parengė ataskaitą. For a male subject, remdamasis.
Recognize the case. Singular forms include įstatymu, law, and sutartimi, contract. Plural forms include tyrimais, studies, and taisyklėmis, rules.
