Is "I heard someone singing" the same as "I heard someone to sign" or "I heard someone who was singing"?

Is "I heard someone singing" the same as "I heard someone to sign"?

or "I heard someone who was singing"?


Also I wanna ask something else (not related to this I think). A sentence like:

I am looking for a girl to play with. can you make this one like that:

I am looking for a girl with which to play. (That's what is used in my native language, looks ungrammatical in English but still I want to see what you think about this one)

BoSsSy Is "I heard someone singing" the same as "I heard someone to sing "? The very small difference is that the first suggests that you heard the singing for a longer period of time. or "I heard someone who was singing"?
