Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•Use を after the food you're eating, like in パンを食べる (I eat bread) — don't forget を marks what you're eating.
•To say when you eat, use に with time words, like 7時に食べる (I eat at 7 o'clock) — don’t say 7時を食べる, that’s incorrect.
•Want to eat? Say 食べたい, like 寿司を食べたい (I want to eat sushi) — just don't confuse it with 食べます, which simply means "eat," not "want to eat."
