hm.. I'm learning French too.
usually I found it written in condition which the first verb is connected with the subject pronoun, and the second verb is in invinitive form.

If the subject of the second verb is the same as that of the first verb, normally you would conjugate the first one only and leave the second in the infinitive:
je veux chanter - I want to sing,
il aime lire - he likes to read/likes reading.
If, however, the subject of the second is a different person then you would normally have to use the subjunctive of the second verb:
I want you to come - je veux que tu viennes
He wants us to sing - il veux que nous chantions

if the first verb is être or avoir then you should conjugate the second one accordinly
- j'ai mangé une pomme : I have eaten an apple
- je suis perdue : I am lost
For any other verbs just conjugate the first one and leave the other one unchanged :
- il va demander le chemin : he's going to ask for the way
- nous aimons boire du café : we like to drink tee.

Be careful how you sound them and what context you converse in. It can mean a good thing or bad. Say it badly and the french take offence
