hi teachers,
This is a sentece from a longer paragrah in a story.
'He had to ge off his bike a push it up a hill'.
If I want to change it into a narrative in the simple present, should it be like this.
a) 'He 'has to get off his bike and push it up a hill'.
OR
b) 'He has to get off his bike and pushes it up a hill.'
I think it is the 'a' because the verb 'has to' affects both verbs 'get off' and 'push', and they have to be in the simple form, haven't they?
Thanks in advance.

The other sentence is comletely wrong.
and about your last sentence, "They have to be in the simle form, haven't they?" you should have said, "don't they?"
the helping verb here is "Do".

This is right: He has to get off his bike and push it up a/the hill.
And 'haven't they?' is an acceptable tag for 'They have to...'.
