It depends on the sentence. But A is more natural
- English (US)
- Russian Near fluent
better to use B. because you can use it in any sentence, unlike A.
B. ex. "my brother can play the guitar
A ex. my brother can play guitar
B ex. "Hey Dad, can I play the guitar on monday?
A ex Hey Dad, can I play guitar on Monday
B is the safer phrase to go with
- English (US)
@mryoung
“I play the guitar”
And
“I play guitar”
Are the same.
