Bonjour Satish,

When two verbs come together in French, only the first one is conjugated (to agree with the subject) whiile the second stays in the infinitive form.

Nous détestons marcher = We hate walking

J'aime danser = I like to dance

Noémie adore nager en mer = Noémie loves swimming in the sea

Bob veux ranger sa chambre = Bob want to tidy up his bedroom

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
