 |

Hi, teacher:
If there are two verb in one sentence, learn and share.
Should I use "I want to learn to share" or "I want to learn sharing"?
Can you give me other example like that? thank you!! |

"I want to learn to share" is fine.
"I want to learn sharing" is not. It sounds strange. But other activities could make sense with "learn":
I want to learn skiing.
I want to learn swimming.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "two verbs in one sentence." A lot depends on the particular verbs, and the particular sentence.
Examples:
Let's go see a movie. ( = Let's go and see a movie.)
Come sit by me. (= Come and sit by me.)
