How can I write two commands at the same time? For example, clear and
ls. I would like to clear the screen before and I do ls?
clear && ls

you can add this line to your /etc/profile.d/alias.sh file to make ls do this 
by default

alias ls="clear && ls"
Now every time you type ls, the screen will clear first.
Unless clear fails - then ls will not run, and you will wonder why.
Clear will fail if your terminal type is set wrong - not usualy a 
problem, but it can be with remote logins.
