Why is 식당에서 used instead of 식당에?
에서 marks the location where an action takes place (“at the restaurant”), whereas 에 typically marks a static location (“in/at the restaurant” with verbs like 있다) or a destination (“to the restaurant” with verbs of motion).
What does the particle 을 do in 밥을?
을 is the direct-object marker. It attaches to 밥 to show that “rice/meal” is what’s being eaten. (If a noun ends in a vowel, you’d use 를 instead.)
What does 먹어요 indicate about tense and politeness?
먹어요 is the present-tense, polite-informal form of 먹다 (to eat). The -어요 ending makes the sentence polite enough for everyday conversation with strangers or acquaintances.
