Questions & Answers about Nosotros no comemos aquí.

How do we change the verb comer to match nosotros?
To conjugate regular -er verbs like comer (to eat) for "we", you drop the -er ending from the dictionary form and add -emos. That gives us comemos.
Where is the word for "do" in this sentence?
Spanish doesn't use helper words like "do" or "does" to make a negative sentence. You simply put no directly before the main verb. So, "we do not eat" is just no comemos.
Do I have to include nosotros at the beginning of the sentence?
No, it's optional! Because the verb ending -emos in comemos already tells us the subject is "we", you can just say No comemos aquí. Spanish speakers often leave out subject words like nosotros unless they want to add emphasis.
If a group of women is speaking, would they still use nosotros?
No, a group of all women would say nosotras. You use nosotros for a group of men, or a mixed group of men and women. The verb form stays exactly the same either way: nosotras no comemos aquí.
