23 Αυγ 2011 · In English, the form V + -ing is called a gerund if it serves as a noun. For example, the gerund form of "run" is "running". (I like cats, I like dogs, I like running). However, not all V + ing forms are gerunds--in "I am running", "running" is another verb.

1.) v1 + to v2: in case action-1 happens before action-2. 2.) v1 + v2ing: in case action-1 happens at the same time with action-2 or after action-2. So I think that we should use the verb "consider" with a "to verb". For example: "I consider to compete with him.", "I consider to become a singer.".
