The following phrase is taken from an NHK News article:

「...。そして国が出すお金を使って、働いている人が仕事を続けることができるようにしてほしいと会社に言います」

Why is 使う used in te-form? Just to concatenate the two sentences? Or is it some way to say "by using"?

    Your analysis of "by using" is correct. See these links (and others): https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/38769/%e3%81%a6-form-and-adverbial-meaning / https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/75105/usage-of-%e3%81%a6%e3%83%bcform-in-this-example-sentence/75172#75172 – user3856370 May 23 '20 at 21:21
  • @user3856370 Thanks, that's it. Next time I'll search for 使って, not only て(too many results). – Christian Pao. May 23 '20 at 23:24
