The grammar pattern "名詞 ＋ をもって" is used to indicate a specific time point for a change or a method used to achieve something. It is commonly used in formal contexts, such as speeches and formal notifications, to provide a sense of completion or accomplishment. This pattern is often used to emphasize the significance of a particular event or action, and to convey a sense of finality or conclusion.
| Form | Pattern | Example |

| Past tense of the verb | 名詞 + をもって + した | 昨日をもって、契約を締結しました。 |
| Present tense of the verb | 名詞 + をもって + する | 今をもって、最後のプレゼンテーションを行います。 |
