★て-form、★
The te-form allows you to combine two verbs or more and express sequence of actions or states. You can consider the te-form in this context as “and” or “then.”
日曜日は友達に会って、映画を見て、レストランでビールを飲みました。
nichiyōbi wa tomodachi ni atte, eiga o mite, resutoran de bi-ru o nomimashita.
On Sunday I met my friends, watched a movie and drank beer at a restaurant.
明日は日本語の勉強をして、学校でバレーボールをします。
ashita wa nihongo no benkyō o shite, gakkō de bare-bo-ru o shimasu.
Tomorrow I will study Japanese and play volleyball at school.
You can also conjugate i-adjectives and nouns into the te-form and combine them. Regarding the conjugation, you just add で after nouns and na-adjectives. Combinations between adjectives or nouns and verbs are applicable as the third example shows.
彼女は頭がよくて、可愛いです。
kanojo wa atama ga yokute, kawaii desu.
She is smart and cute.
彼はハンサムで親切です。
