What is the correct way to use two, three or X amount of verbs in a sentence? For example, "I want to go to the restaurant to eat and drink"

Is it:
Watashi wa resutoran ni ikitai you ni tabemasu to nomimasu.
わたしはレストランにいきたいようにたべますとのみま す。

Are there any notable rules to remember when using multiple verbs?

Thank you so much.

Thanks masaegu. But do you mind being a little more specfic because I don't understand the meaning of figurative, emphatic to be honest.

FOr something like this, the 〜たり form is correct.

食べたり飲んだりするためにレストランに行きたいです 。

Structure is VERB STEMたりVERB STEMたり[more verb stemsたり]する

This is the verb equivalent of や.

I see. I appear to have had it completely backwards. I think I understand why you put the 'eat and drink' part at the start. Is it because those are the objects, or the things I want to do? And then 'restaurant' goes after that (perhaps because it is the location of the things I want to do?) And then 'go' is at the end because it's the more immediate verb.

Is that right?

Don't overthink it. The sentence needs to break into three parts here: purpose, location, and verb. For PURPOSE, you [want to] VERB to LOCATION.

My sentence pretty much literally translates into
"For the purpose of eating, drinking, and stuff, I want to go to a restaurant."

The 食べる and 飲む here modify ため, a noun meaning "purpose" or "objective." That's why they come so early in the sentence.

Remember: You are only doing one thing in the sentence: going. Well, technically, you're wanting, but let's pretend you haven't added the complexity of desire to your problem sentence.

This is a very basic question. Are both of the following sentences technically correct?

ゆうびんきょくはどこですか。

ゆうびんきょくはどこありますか。

Which one would you be bound to hear more often?

[Jorg]

Thanks, Kyle. I understand.

You didn't put a と or a よ inbetween the verbs. Is "and" implied with verbs?

What about for sentences where I am definately doing two or more things? Like, say, someone calls you while you're at the restaurant to ask where you are and what you're doing and you say, "I'm eating and drinking at the restaurant, then I will go home". How would you structure that sentence without leaving out any of the verbs?

Thanks.

質問もう一つ:

"上の例は normal-order で，いったんすべての式を primitive な部分まで展開させてから評価する．一方，applicative-order では最初に arguments を評価してから展開していく．"


「させる」の使いの仕方がわかるですけど。。。

この文でなぜ「展開させて」って使われますか。「展開 して」って使ったら何が違う？
