I am not sure if I am correct….?
고 is used to combine clauses that contain verbs. for example:
학교에서 수업 듣고 공부 하고 왔어요.
I went to class (clause 1) and studied at school (clause 2)and came back (clause 3).

but can it be used to create connected verb patterns in the same way?
For example in the above sentence the two verbs are joined directly together; ‘used (verb 1) to create (verb 2)’.
In english this happens all the time, after the first verb we need to use either the basic shape of the verb or an -ing form of the verb.
So we would say ‘I agreed to watch TV with him’ or ‘I avoided watching TV with him’ (but the opposite is impossible).
Is it possible to directly connect verbs like this using 고?

Sticky grammar is great, hey?!

Thanks

The 고 from this sentence is used to combine the verbs in a sequence.

라고 is used for “reported speech”

Would you please give me an example so we can help you better?

Yes As long as the last sentence clearly states that it was in the past, you can omit the past tence conjugation in the verbs that come before

In the conversation, it was 정소했고, 빨래했고…

But would it be ok too to say 정소하고, 빨래하고… 공부했어요 (as long as the last verb is in past tense)?

그리고 쟈클린은 레슨을 듣고 (항상) 코멘트를 남겨요 쟈클린 최고~ ㅎㅎ

It’s like in English Generally, it’s in THAT specific order… but you can add words like “그 전에(=before that)” or “그 다음에(=after that)” to designate specific orders - so it can be all mixed up

Does …고, …고, …고 specifically that he did all those things in that order? Or that he did all those things, but might have done them in a different order?

Thanks for your help!
