WHEN TO USE INFINITIVE AND WHEN TO USE GERUND

SOMETIMES IN A SENTENCE CORRECTION, I LEFT WITH TWO OPTIONS ONE WITH A TO-FORM AND OTHER WITH ING-FORM
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE KIND OF CHOICES

PLEASE HELP.

You will mostly find this concept to be tested in parallel strycture,where you need to choose option which makes the sentence/list parallel.So choose option which makes the sentence parallel.

I feel this is a very broad question. Could you please post the question here and then we can discuss.

The answer to your question is situational. But a general rule is

to + infinitive > verb > verb + ing

Example. He helped me to learn piano. Is preferred over,
He helped me learn piano. Is preferred over,
He helped me in learning piano.

Hope this helps !!

Note that the infinite is the normal way of expressing a purpose you could also write with IN ORDER TO.

So the sentence He went to the store in order to buy cheese would have a correct answer He went to the store to buy cheese, and the GMAT will often give you the wrong answer choice He went to the store for buying cheese.
