Can object in a compound sentence be ommited in order to avoid repetition?


ナイフでお肉を切ります、それからフォークで(お肉を)食べます。

Cut the meat with a knife, then eat the meat with a fork.

I wondered whether the second (お肉を) could be omitted in order to avoid
repetition. Is it totally acceptable in grammar?




Yes you can omit 2nd appearance of お肉。

Here is one another way to put it. お肉をナイフで切ってフォークで食べます。 In this you can
connect 2 sentences by verb's て form.

Just like we would say in English "Cut the meat by knife and eat by fork." no
need of 2nd occurrence of object as its already implied.
