"The" Beer: está certo?
I was doing a course in Livemocha and there was an exercise where it was writing: "They want the beer.".
Is it really correct? I would just say "They want beer.". Is this one incorrect?
TIA

Hi Tiago,
I think it would be better to use "They want some beer."
And about "They want the beer." probably the context is meaning a specific beer.

Olá Tiago,
Usa-se o artigo "the" quando se está falando de algo em específico, como por exemplo "They want the beer they bought"(Eles querem a cerveja que compraram.).Quando quisermos falar de cerveja em geral podemos dizer "They want beer".
