Help Translating From Japanese To English?

I have a few sentences that I need help with.

1. Nanika tabemono o moratte mo ii desuka.

2. kyou no gogo sakka o shimasenka.

. Gomennasai. isogashiin desu. shigoto o shinakereba ikemasen.

3. Kanojo wa nanika tabemono ga hoshii desu.



If you can break those sentences down word for word the best you can, I would really appreciate it.Help Translating From Japanese To English?
