Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•焼ける is used when something gets burned or roasted on its own, so use it with the particle が to show what is being burned (e.g., パンが焼ける = The bread is toasting).
•Don’t confuse 焼ける (something is burning) with 焼く (to burn or grill something); use 焼く when you are the one doing the cooking.
•You can use 焼ける with で to show the place where the burning happens (e.g., オーブンでパンが焼ける = The bread is baking in the oven).
