Would anyone actually use a statement like this in Italian then? I couldn't really see the need to say "I eat breakfast" to anyone in any language. Maybe "I've had breakfast". Or is it more just for learning the words and grammar rather than an actual statement you might make.
It's more for learning proper grammar and vocab; and possibly you could use variations of this sentence and create more complexly structured statements.
As an American English speaker, I would say, if asked what I am doing? "I am eating breakfast", to say "I eat breakfast" is when generally asked " do you eat breakfast?
When I lived in Rome I would hear people say "prima colazione" for breakfast.
Is colazione alone always breakfast? Or could it also mean the more general "meal"?
"Une collation" in French is a snack which can be eaten at any given time of the day. Funny how words evolve in different way even though their meaning remain essentially similar.
