Can two requests be made in one sentence using ください?


For example,

> 許して正してください

Or does this make little sense?




Yes you can join two or more verbs using the te-form and say ください only once.

>   * 帰って寝てください。 Please go home and have a sleep.
>   * 食べて飲んで楽しんでください。 Eat, drink and have fun!
>

However, your example 許して正してください makes little sense to me, although it's
grammatically correct. What is this sentence supposed to mean? "Please forgive
and amend"?

**EDIT:** 許して正してください makes little sense mainly because 正す lacks an object, and
許す and 正す do not share the same object (i.e. you want to say "forgive _me_ "
and "correct _my Japanese sentences_ "). Using the te-form implies the two
verbs are performed either in succession or at the same time, as one set.
"Forgive-and-correct" is not one set action. In this case it's better to split
the sentence into two: "間違っても許してください。間違いがあれば直してください。"
