More than one htaccess rewrite rule

I'm having some trouble understanding .htaccess basically I'm trying to have more than one rewrite rule; for example I have a profile page and then I also want to rewrite the index page so how would this be done; in my previous attempts I could only use one rewrite rule perhaps I was doing something wrong; I have a profile page with the link /profile/profile.php?user=$username and the index page account.php?page=featured how could I get the profile page to look like /account/$username and the account page to look like /account/featured thankyou also how would I then add more later down the line?

the account.php file is in the root directory.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^tag/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /tag/index.php?hash=$1&cat=$2
Options All -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 Denied

that is my current .htaccess which uses the hashtags and shows them like this /tag/$hashtag when I tried to copy and paste this to then use under it it didn't work.

As mentioned in my comment, Apache won't be able to tell which file to rewrite to. So you'll need to change one of the URI structures. As a recommendation, change the one for the profiles.

Here is an example to show you how to do this:

RewriteRule ^tag/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /tag/index.php?hash=$1&cat=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^account/([^/]+) /account.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+) /profile/profile.php?user=$1 [L]

Remember the [L] flag, which causes rewriting to stop when a match is found.
