I've read the Developers Guide ( bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide ), asked a few peers and still didn't realize how the transactions are used to form the block.

I did get that the transactions are used to form the Merkle tree. What I'm not sure is: all people mining the next block use the same transactions to form the Merkle tree?

Or is it possible, let's say, that I'm mining based the transactions ABC and you are based on XYZ. If so, if I get the right "answer" first, with ABC, I will then proceed to use the XYZ transactions?

If I did the right "answer", you will have to check which transactions were validated by me, before forming the next merkle tree, right? Because, if not, you will use let's say the B transaction again, which was already confirmed by me.

I'm not sure if I'm clear. Thanks in advance

Let's say that the Bitcoin network has the transactions A, B, C, X, Y, and Z. All of them are unconfirmed.

I'm mining the transactions ABC and you are mining XYZ. If so, if I find a block that contains ABC, will I then mine the XYZ transactions?

If I find a block, you will have to check which transactions were included in the block by me, before forming the next merkle tree, right? If not, you might use, for example, the B transaction again, which was already confirmed by me.
