Grammar Notes & Usage Tips

Use を with 浴びる to mark what you're bathing in—like シャワーを浴びます means "I take a shower."
Don't say *シャワーが浴びます*—use を instead of が because you're doing the action to the shower, not the other way around.
You can also use 浴びる with sunlight or water—like 日光(にっこう)を浴びます for "I bask in the sun."
