To say you eat a meal, we usually use the verb <span data-no-translation>have<\/span>. For example, you can say <span data-no-translation>I have breakfast at 7 AM<\/span> to describe your morning meal. It&#8217;s also important to know the preposition <span data-no-translation>at<\/span> when talking about specific times, like <span data-no-translation>at one o&#8217;clock<\/span>. Learning this essential A1 food vocabulary will help you talk about your daily meals, ask others about their eating habits, and understand simple conversations about food and time. This lesson makes it easy to master these important words and phrases.<\/div>\n<h2>What Are the Main Meals in English?<\/h2>\n<p>In English, we have three main meals every day.
