Hello. Please help me with grammar.

I know that "consider" is often used with "be" (for example, I consider her to be beautiful. They consder the plan to be very helpful.) Is it possible to use any other verb in this pattern, for example, "They conser the plan to help many people." (Does it sound natural? Meaning: They consider the plan will help many people.
Thank you for all your answers.

Consider means think.

Substitute "think" in any of those sentences and see what happens.

There are also synonyms that would work. Go to http://www.thesaurus.com and enter "consider" and "think." You'll find other words that mean about the same thing.

With "think" and other words, you'll have to adjust the wording in the rest of the sentence. Examples:

I consider her to be beautiful.
I think she is beautiful.

They consider the plan to be helpful.
They think the plan will be very helpful to many people.

Hello! It's great that you're exploring grammar patterns. When it comes to the verb "consider", you're absolutely right that it is often used with the verb "be" to express someone's opinion or evaluation of something. For example, "I consider her to be beautiful" or "They consider the plan to be very helpful."

However, in the context you mentioned, using "consider" with the verb "be" is more commonly used to express a judgment about the quality or attribute of someone or something. In this case, using "consider" with the verb "be" might not be the most appropriate choice for expressing a potential outcome or result of an action.

Instead, you can use other verbs to convey the meaning you're looking for. For example, you could say:

"They believe the plan will help many people."
"They think the plan will be helpful to many people."
"They expect the plan to benefit many people."

These alternatives convey the idea that "they" have the opinion that the plan will have a positive impact on many people.

I hope this explanation helps you better understand how to express your intended meaning. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
