VERB: たべます tabemasu

あさごはんに(food)と(food)をたべます
Asagohan ni (food) to (food) o tabemasu
I eat .... and .... for breakfast

​In Japanese, "tabemasu" (たべます) means "to eat". Let's see the conjugation of this verb:

たべる　　　Taberu ：I eat (casual)
たべます　　Tabemasu : I eat (polite)
たべません　Tabemasen : I don't eat (polite)
たべました　Tabemashita : I ate (polite)

(friend's name)さん、あさごはんになにをたべますか？
(friend's name)-san, asagohan ni nani o tabemasu ka?
...., what do you eat for breakfast?

に (ni):
This particle generally indicates the direction or destination of an action, but in this context, it shows the time or place of the action.

Here, あさごはんに can be understood as "for breakfast" or "at breakfast." It marks the time when the eating action is taking place.

を (o):
This particle marks the direct object of the verb. It shows what is being eaten in this case. (food)を marks the food items as the objects being eaten, so を follows the food directly.

Asagohan ni (drink) o nomimasu. (drink) ni (object) o ireru no ga suki desu.
I drink .... for breakfast. I like to add ..... to my ...... .

​In Japanese, "iremasu" (いれます) means "to pour in (something) / to add in (something)." Let's see the conjugation of this verb:

いれる　　　Ireru： I add (in), to pour (in) (Casual)
いれます　　Iremasu: I add (in), to pour (in) (polite)
いれません　Iremasen: I don't add/pour (polite)
いれました　Iremashita: I added /poured (polite)
いれるのがすきです　Ireru no ga suki desu: I like to add/pour.....

(friend's name)さん、あさごはんになにをのみますか？
(friend's name)-san, asagohan ni nani o nomimasu ka?
...., what do you drink for breakfast?

に (ni):
In this sentence, に is used to show the target or the recipient of the action, in this case, the drink. (Drink)に indicates that something is being added to the drink.

を (o):
This particle marks the direct object of the verb. It shows what is being added in this case. (object)を marks the object items as the objects being added to the drink, so を follows the object directly.

​きょうのぶんぽう　Today's grammar

​Desire Form →　たいです (tai desu)
Tai たい here is not a verb or noun but an ending particle that is used to express a desire or want. It is added to the stem of a verb and it’s used to indicate that the speaker wants to do that action. The formula is to drop the ~masu and add tai desu.

のみます (nomimasu) → のみ (nomi) →のみたい (nomitai) → のみたいです (nomitai desu : want to drink)

～をください　..... o kudasai

Kudasai ください here is not a noun or verb by itself, but a polite auxiliary verb (a helper verb like have, do, will, shall, could, may, etc.) used in Japanese to make requests or give instructions. Usually is used when you order food or drink and can be translated as ".... please" or "please give me ....."

The formula is to drop the “masu” and change the last “i” syllable to the “e” sounds of the column and add “masu” again.

Nomimasu ➔ Nomi ➔ Nome ➔ Nomemasu : I can drink

Nomemasen: I cannot drink

​Group 2 – Ichidan verb:
The formula is to drop the “masu” and add “raremasu”.

Tabemasu ➔ Tabe ➔ Taberaremasu : I can eat

Taberaremasen : I cannot eat
