Questions & Answers about shokutaku de kazoku to issho ni bangohan o taberu to, shiawase o kanjimasu.
Why is で used after 食卓?
で marks the place where an action happens. Since 食べる is an action, 食卓で means at the table or at the dining table as the location of eating.
Compare:
- 食卓で食べる = eat at the table
- 食卓にある = be on the table
So で is used because the sentence is talking about where the eating takes place.
What does 家族と一緒に mean, and why are both と and 一緒に used?
家族と一緒に means together with my family or with my family.
The two parts work together:
- 家族と = with family
- 一緒に = together
Using both is very natural in Japanese and emphasizes doing something together rather than just being in the same place. You could say 家族と晩ご飯を食べる, but 家族と一緒に sounds a little warmer and more explicit.
What kind of と is the one in 食べると?
