并, 并且

并(且）(bìng(qiě)) meaning "moreover" can be used to connect verbs. In this structure the two verbs used are equal to each other with neither being primary or secondary.

Structure

Verb/[Verb phrase 1] + 并(且) + Verb/[Verb phrase 2]

Notice that "并且" is used with verbs, unlike "和" which is used with nouns.

Examples

Here are some examples:

我们负责安装并维护这个系统。We're in charge of installing and maintaining this system.
你要编辑并且打印这个文件。You're going to edit and print off this document.
我同意并支持你的决定。I agree with and support your decision.
说并且做。Talk and work.

Rarely will a bare verb (rather than a verb phrase) appear both before and after 并且, as in the last example. Where this is the case the sentence will normally take the tone of an imperative, instructing someone to do something.
