通过 as a verb = pass.
Keep a subject in the result
- A sentence starting with through通过… still needs a subject in the result: through通过to learn学习,I / me我progress进步(completed / change)了, not through通过to learn学习,to make使I / me我progress进步(completed / change)了.
- That missing-subject error is a classic exam trap; check for a subject after the comma.

The result clause needs its own subject; 通过…,使… has none.
through通过 versus after经过
- through通过 stresses the means: through通过network (computing…网络to buy tickets买票 — "buy tickets online".
- after经过 stresses a process gone through: after经过three years三年(modifier / structural particle)的effort努力 — "after three years of effort".
after经过three years三年的effort努力,he他succeeded成功了。
经过 stresses a process; 通过 stresses the means.

That is the key difference.
Recap
- through通过 + means = through, by means of; as a verb, through通过 = pass.
- Keep a subject in the result clause. after经过 = after going through a process.

A friend asks how you got your new job so quickly. Close the examples. Say a Mandarin response, then write it in Chinese. Explain briefly in English what the lesson’s pattern adds. Compare with the model, then change one detail and try again.
This is supported productive practice. Compare meaning and structure; your answer need not copy the model. A partner or teacher must hear the spoken response to comment on pronunciation.
