Lesson 1.4 Video

Question

In the Video for Lesson 1.4,

At the beginning of the video, we are told

an egg - el huevo

egg - el huevo

always use an article with nouns

Then we go into conjugating verbs

We are combining conjugated verbs with nouns. She reminds us to include the correct article with each noun. Then we get

¿Bebes jugo? and ¿Bebes leche?

Then

Bebe leche, beben leche, come una manzana, come una naranja

So why are we not using articles with jugo & leche?

Answer 1

In English we would say:

Do you drink juice? - Do you drink milk?

¿Bebes jugo? ' ¿Bebes leches?

not

Do you drink A juice? - Do you drink A milk?

Same in Spanish.

I never drink juice, I never drink milk ,Pero yo bebo otras bebidas , muchas otras bebidas . - ray76, Feb 15, 2014
