Can I cast a Cantrip and a spell in the same turn?

The answer to this question is yes, you can cast a cantrip and a spell in the same turn, as long as you follow the normal casting time rules for each spell, unless a specific rule or feature says otherwise. The only restriction is that if you use a bonus action to cast any spell, the only other spell you can cast in the same turn is a cantrip with a casting time of one action.
