"Eles beberão alguma coisa hoje."

Translation: They will drink something today.

I should have remembered this was a "future" lesson, but I didn't and I got it wrong, because this is badly pronounced. When you stress "be", you're saying "beberam" and that is the Past Perfect. If you mean the future "beberão", you must stress "ão".

But at least they highlighted the word this time and gave the right hint.

I'm just wondering, how common is it to say "beberão" in comparison to "Vão beber"?

[Paulenrique]

The second one is most frequently used.

beberão its too formal. no one use this here on brazil anymore :D

[frozen3v0lution]

k.... anyone else think "some thing" should be acceptable as two words?

[kiki9949]

I'm a native English speaker and never thought there was a difference, but apparently there is.

'Something' for positive statements and requests vs 'anything' for questions and negatives.

Why not "They will drink anything today"? It was marked as wrong.
Qual é a diferéncia em portugues? Entre something e anything. Quem pode explicar isso?
