To express that one thing is done whilst doing something else, the word 一边 (yībiān) is used. The structure is:
Subject + 一边 + Verb， + 一边 + Verb
Note that you sometimes see 一边 shortened to 边 as well, which has a less formal feel.
Some examples:
- 我 一边 看 电视，一边 吃 东西。
- 他们 一边 唱歌， 一边 跳舞，真 热闹！
- 你 会 一边 拍头 一边 揉 肚子 吗？
- 咱们 边 吃 边 聊 吧。
