There can be multiple usages of "+ing" form. Some mostly tested on GMAT are:
-> Cause & Effect/Adverbial: the effect take the ING form and modifies the complete cause, which is a clause.
For Example: The firm's investors invested unwisely for three consecutive years, leading to the complete collapse of the bank
-> Adjectival Usage: It modifies the Subject of the sentence
For example: Seeing the condition of the user car, Brain thought of buying a new one.
