first of all I need the translation of these verbs in ます form

- write
- call
- drink (coffee)
- dance
- drive (car)
- smoke (tobacco)
- take a photo
- play (soccer)
- go out (from house or though the door)

2. I am studying this rule:

when joining an い-adj sentence to another sentence, take away the い-from the い-adjective and attach くて

my question is, replacing くて instead of い , does it apply on the two adjectives or one only,
see this example which one is right,
ミラさんは若くて、背が高くてです。

OR
ミラさんは若くて、背が高いです。

which one is right?


thank you in advanced.

Hello, Red5.

ミラさんは若くて、背が高いです。is correct.

Usually you can't say くてです.

And the i-adjective + desu pattern may sound a little awkward.
So ミラさんは、若くて背が高い女性です。 would be better.

Write should be 書きます (かきます), not 歩きます (あるきます)
