Say what you eat, where you eat and at what time you share a meal.
The idea
Comer means to eat and follows regular -er present forms: como, comes, come, comemos and comen. The food can follow directly, or the verb can stand without a stated object.
Examples
- Como una manzana.I eat an apple.
- ¿Comes en casa hoy?Are you eating at home today?
- Ella come con su familia.She eats with her family.
- Comemos a las dos.We eat at two.
- Ustedes comen verduras.You eat vegetables.
- Mis amigos comen en el parque.My friends eat in the park.
