How does energy transfer from the sun to plant to you?

Energy comes from the Sun to Earth - and some of it to plants - via sunlight, which can travel through empty space. Plants store part of the energy they get, and we then get the energy from the plants we eat. We - those who are not strict vegans, that is - also get some of the energy in a more indirect way, by eating animal products (meat, eggs, milk); in this case, the animal gets energy from the plants, and stores part of it, and we get the energy from the animal products.
