一句句子不能有兩個verb

A sentence can contain more than one clause, and each clause has its own verb, so a sentence with more than one clause can have more than one verb.

For example:
He gets up, washes up, eats breakfast, and goes to work. = He gets up, and he washes up, and he eats breakfast, and he goes to work. The sentence is actually made up of many clauses, but the repeating "he" and "and" have been ommitted, so the sentence is correct.

However, if the sentence is:" He gets up goes to to work.", then it is incorrect. The reason is that the sentence does not have two clauses but contains two verbs. Once you break it down into two clauses by using a conjunction "and", e.g. "He gets up and goes to work", then the sentence will be correct.

In other cases, infinitives (e.g. He goes to work) and gerunds (He enjoys working) look like verbs but they are nouns. Present and past participles (e.g. He was caught stealing; he was found drunk) look like verbs but they are adjectives.

A sentence can contain one or more clauses, but each clause can only have one verb. Sometimes a simple sentence seems to have 2 verbs and is still correct because one of the verbs is not a verb, but an infinitive, a gerund, or a participle. If you'd like more explanation, please ask.

Infinitive 的中文是 [動詞不定式]，由 to + verb 形成，用作 [名詞]。當人們看到 verb 和infinitive 一起使用，例如，"he goes to work", 可能認為有2個動詞。其實在這個句子中，"goes"是 verb, "to work" 是 noun。
Infinitive 例子:
The baby wants to play.("to play" is the object and a noun).
To err is human. ("to err" is the subject and a noun).

有些 infinitive 沒有 "to" 在前面，稱為 "bare infinitve" ，但它仍是 [名詞], 不是 [動詞]。例如:
He made her cry. ("cry" = to cry)
She saw him cheat. (cheat = to cheat).
Her father let her go to the party. (go = to go).

Sorry, in the best answer, "infinitive" was explained as functioning as a "noun" only, but in fact it can also function as an "adjective", or "adverb". The main point was made correctly, however, that "infinitive" does not function as a verb.

邊個話你知一個句子只能有一個verb?

He ran and sang at the same time. 用and連住，就會多個一個verb。

動詞係一句說話出現.可以有幾個方法

第一.加to ,變成不定詞

I want to buy a watch -----to buy 係不定詞.

第二

使役動詞

have,make,let

可以不用加to

The teacher made/had John get his book in the office.

第三
子句

i can tell who is your brother

tell - 動詞 who ... brother 子句

咁點解有d唔可以兩個verb 咩類型唔可以...

Every day a man wakes up, eats, works, plays, rests, and does many other things.
