    when you ask for something in a shop, like bread for example do you say
    tiene el pan?
    or tiene pan?
    or tiene unos pan?
    You know we have that plural thing where we don't say 'a' or 'some' bread, just 'do you have bread?'. whats the equivalent in spain?
    Thanks people xx

    well, we say tiene pan,
    because tiene el pan is used when you are talking about a specific bread and tiene unos panes, in this case the word unos is like a few or some.
