In the paper is proved a result over an arbitrary field, which is a very good generalization of the well known result of \textit{J.-H. Wang} and \textit{P. Y. Wu} [Stud. Math. 99, No. 2, 115--127 (1991; Zbl 0745.47006)] for expressing an \(n\times n\) matrix as the sum of two square-zero matrices over the complex field, namely if the field is of characteristic zero and algebraically closed.
