"Ele bebe o primeiro copo de vinho."

Translation: He drinks the first glass of wine.

Why can't it be "He drinks the first cup of wine"?

[Paulenrique]

cup = xícara

[juhliocesar]

Could this be translated also as "he drinks his first glass of wine" or it does not have that meaning?

[Paulenrique]

It keeps the same meaning, although it is not strictly literal.

[Smilinsteve]

Why cant I say "He is drinking" his first glass?

[Paulenrique]

= ele está bebendo

[Smilinsteve]

As I understand it...the present tense is represented in "he drinks", and "he is drinking".....The way you have it says it specifically, he is drinking....

[Paulenrique]

Only in specific contexts you can use "Present Continuous" as "Simple Present", but it should be avoided. You can be more accurate by using literal translations in this case.
