Today I am going to share the Q&A quoted from my JLPT N4 course!

 

[Question]

先生、
Can we use “を” twice in a sentence?
like, “部屋を掃除をしたあとで…”.
It sounds incorrect…

*部屋(へや)
掃除(そうじ)

 

 

[My Reply]

Basically, we can’t use particle を twice for the same verb.

×部屋を掃除をする
[noun]を[noun]を[verb] In this sentence, there is only one verb “する”.

So, you should change the sentence to;

◎部屋を掃除する
[noun]を[verb] 掃除する is a verb.

◎部屋の掃除をする
[nounのnoun]を[verb] We can say 部屋の掃除 as a big noun.

If each を applies to a different verb, we can use を more than once in the same sentence.

りんごを買って、店を出た。
[noun]を[verb], [noun]を[verb].
I bought an apple and left the store.

 

I hope my answer helps you. 😊

 

 

In the JLPT course, you can ask me any questions as much as you want.
I will teach you until you get it!
