Multiple masks at the same time or incrementally?

Hello!
I’m generating sentences that fit a certain template. One of the methods I’m testing is to use the fill-mask pipeline, and my first method was for example to:

  1. “I eat ” to obtain a sentence such as “I eat chilli.”
  2. then “I eat chilli.” to add an adverb to have a sentence such as “I often eat chilli.”

However, someone at my university had told me that it was false to build a sentence as such and that I should put all the masks in the sentence at the same time (“I eat .”). Unfortunately I’m not in contact with this person anymore and I struggle to find information about this, as well as about the kind of probabilities that are used and why it was false to build the sentence in two steps.

Is someone able to provide some more information about this, or to direct me towards a useful article?

Thank you so much !
