We study singular hypersurfaces in tensor multi-scalar theories of gravity. We derive in a distributional and then in an intrinsic way, the general equations of junction valid for all types of hypersurfaces, in particular for lightlike shells and write the general equations of evolution for these objects. We apply this formalism to various examples in static spherically symmetric spacetimes, and to the study of planar domain walls and plane impulsive waves.
