You have breakfast, have lunch, have a snack, have a cup of coffee/tea, have dinner, have a
midnight snack.
If you mention the name of the food or drink, instead of the verbs “eat” and “drink”, we also use
“have”. I like to have mate in the morning. I don’t like to have sushi on weekdays.

When you want to write a verb, you have 2 options:

Time expressions:

A lapse is expressed FROM and TO. I work from 9 to 5. The store is open from 1 to 8.

If you only mention the starting time, you can use SINCE. I’m out of my house since 8AM. (in this
case, you don’t tell the other person what time you’ll be back).

If you only mention the ending time, you use UNTIL. I will be home until 1.

When the time is precise, we use the word AT. When the time is approximate, we use the word
AROUND. E.g.: He gets home around 4:30. (It would be strange to say “around 4:25”). / It costs
around 400 pesos (you wouldn’t say “around 395 pesos”)

Some verbs in English are one word (“eat”, “sleep”, “go”, etc.), and others are two words (“pick
up”, “let go”, “follow up”, “give back”, etc.). When you BREAK the verbs that are two words, the
person goes in the middle.

A bus picks him up.

I will pick the kids up from school tomorrow.

I can’t let them go before we finish the meeting.

We will follow it up next Monday.

They will give him his money back at the end of the month.
