To add the expression \((2m - 3) + (3n - 1) + (3m + 1)\), we can combine like terms step by step.

  1. Start by writing the expression: \[ (2m - 3) + (3n - 1) + (3m + 1) \]

  2. Distribute and group similar terms:

    • For the \(m\) terms: \(2m + 3m\)
    • For the \(n\) terms: \(3n\)
    • For the constant terms: \(-3 - 1 + 1\)
  3. Combine these terms:

    • \(m\) terms: \(2m + 3m = 5m\)
    • \(n\) terms: \(3n\)
    • Constant terms: \(-3 - 1 + 1 = -3\)
  4. Putting it all together: \[ 5m + 3n - 3 \]

So, the result of the addition is: \[ \boxed{5m + 3n - 3} \]
