Hey, I have a question: do you have to conjugate all the verbs in a single sentence? For example, the sentence "J'aime aider les gens, lire, marcher, travailler et cuisiner." In that sentence is it incorrect to only conjugate the verb /aimer/ and not the other verbs? Here's another example: "Première me réveille et me (replacement--the word shower in French. The site won't allow me to use the word here)," First I wake up and shower; do I need to conjugate /the word shower in French/?

Bonjour

First sentence is correct

several infinitive verbs can follow the conjugated verb. It's called an "accumulation". As long they have the same "subject + verb" it's ok

J'aime aider les gens, lire, marcher, travailler et cuisiner. ==> OK

Premièrement (best is D'abord) je me réveille et me dou--che.

the verb prendre is conjugated with "je" => je me dou-che.

But you don't have to repeat the subject "je"

D'abord je me réveille et (je) me dou--che. ==> ok

Bonjour,

For example, the sentence "J'aime aider les gens, lire, marcher, travailler et cuisiner." In that sentence is it incorrect to only conjugate the verb /aimer/ and not the other verbs? correct (aider, lire, marcher, travailler, cuisiner, coudre, danser, peindre............)

"Premièrement je me réveille et je me dou//che : correct

Exemple :

Lorsque je me réveille, je me lève, je me dou......che, je déjeune, je m'habille et je me brosse les dents.
