Comparing the two sentences:
This can help you in learning English.
vs
This can help you to learn English.
Or in scientific writing
The system process A to obtain B containing C.
vs
This system process A to obtain B that contains C.
My understanding is that both first version (with gerund) are preferred. Is it because the sentence already containing a verb, therefore gerund form is preferred to prevent two verbs in one sentence together, or is there other rule that helps to identify this? Are there any exceptions?
