When to conjugate a verb?

[Jamie]

I was just curious as to if you're writing a sentence that has more than one verb in it, how would you know which verbs to conjugate?

Thank you,
Jamie

The rules for this are basically the same as in English. I think the basic rule would be you conjugate the first verb in a given clause and any subsequent verbs would be in the infinitive form.

I am going to go to the store.
Voy a ir a la tienda.

You could also post some specific examples and we can help you with them.

But in Spanish it's a lot simpler because the second verb is always in the infinitive, whereas in English you have three possibilities.
Let me go: Déjame ir
I want to go: Quiero ir
Stop talking: Deja de hablar

Good point Gemma. In Spanish, while the second verb is always in the infinitive, sometimes a preposition is needed.

Lo quiero para llevar.
No dejes de hablar.
Vine a decir que...

Although I agree that this is still simpler than in English where sometimes you use the infinitive with or without the to, and sometimes you use the gerund.

You are not considering other verbal periphrasis as participle and gerund ones:

• Lo dejé dormido.
• Estoy leyendo.

I'm sorry it's not only an infinitive what can follow a verb forming a verbal group.
