We may ask nature for advice.

We may ask nature for advice.
We may ask Tom for a favor.

Hi,
Do both of the above sound right? Are both "for" in each sentence optional? Thanks.

In very unusual contexts you might be able to leave out "for" but in the vast majority of cases you need it. It's kind of a case of "don't try this at home."
