Question 1:
a cup of tea
a cup of coffee

a glass of water
a glass of milk

It's my understanding about the difference between the two terms.
I don't know if it's correct or not.

Is there any further explanation about them?

I mean the cutomary usages for them, when there's no information about what the type of cup is used for available.
such as, in English exams for grammar.

thanks a lot..

Tea or coffee, usually hot stuff, use cup. Cold drink, (water, milk, soda), use glass.  But for measuring when cooking and baking, a cup of milk, or a cup of water, is also used..

when there's no other things mentioned particularly, usually use cup for tea/coffee & glass for water/milk/soda/cola/juice, etc?.
