How do I stay this in Japanese?

Question:


I want to say "Every week, I use chopsticks."
Would it be まいしゅうおはしをします? Would I use します? How would I say this?

Also, would "Every week, I eat with chopsticks" be まいしゅうおはしでたべます。I have no idea how this sentence would be.

Answer:


まいしゅうおはしをします means, "everyweek, do chopsticks" it makes no sense.

まいしゅうおはしでたべます means "everyweek, I eat with chopsticks" Which is correct, but is better if you write it like 「まいしゅう、わたしはおはしでたべます。」

BUt if you want to say "Every week, I use chopsticks" you need to write 「まいしゅう、わたしはおはしをつかいます。」

This litteray means "Every week, I use chopsticks", but it leaves you to wonder, how do you use the chopsticks? To sword battle, to drum, to play chopsticks on the piano etc. I think the other way of saying it would be better than this one.
