1) Many Magoosh users consider my friend\u00a0Chris<\/a>\u00a0an authority on the GRE.<\/p>\n 2) I consider\u00a0Ted Williams\u00a0the greatest baseball hitter of all times.<\/p>\n Both of those use this idiom correctly.\u00a0 The structure of this idiom is<\/p>\n [subject] \"considers\" A B\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The noun A is the person or thing you are evaluating, and B is the rank or level or station or etc. to which you are assigning them.\u00a0 In sentence #1:<\/p>\n A = my friend Chris<\/p>\n B = an authority on the GRE<\/p>\n In sentence #2<\/p>\n A = Ted Williams<\/p>\n B = the greatest baseball hitter of all times<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3) I consider\u00a0Margarette<\/a>\u00a0very intelligent.<\/p>\n 4) Many unfairly consider\u00a0New York City<\/a>\u00a0unfriendly.<\/p>\n 5) The analysts considered tech industry stocks unlikely to rise before the new year.<\/p>\n This idiom is similar to the first, and all three of those use this idiom correctly.\u00a0 The structure of this idiom is<\/p>\n [subject] \"considers\" A B\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Again, the noun A is the person or thing you are evaluating, and B is the adjective, the quality, which the subject ascribes to A.\u00a0\u00a0 In sentence #3:<\/p>\n A = Margarette<\/p>\n B = very intelligent<\/p>\n In sentence #4:<\/p>\n A = New York City<\/p>\n B = unfriendly<\/p>\n In sentence #5:<\/p>\n A = tech industry stocks<\/p>\n B = unlikely to rise before the new year<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Notice, this is a very clean, simple idiom.\u00a0 On the Sentence Correct, the GMAT loves to give incorrect version of the form:<\/p>\n All of those are wrong.\u00a0 All of those may sound more \"dignified\", more \"formal\", than the simplicity of \"someone considers A B\", but in this case, the simple answer is 100% correct, and all these variants with extra words always will be incorrect on the GMAT Sentence Correction.\u00a0\u00a0 Keep it simple!<\/p>\n This post was written by Mike McGarry, GMAT expert at Magoosh<\/a>, and originally posted here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the proper way to use the word “consider”?\u00a0 Considering that this very word may appear on the GMAT Sentence Correction, you should be prepared for its related idioms!…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,243,719,735],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gmat","category-blog","category-sentence-correction-gmat","category-verbal-gmat-blog","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/133"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15818"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15818\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17189,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15818\/revisions\/17189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Idiom #2: consider + noun + adjective<\/h2>\n
