Could you tell me which vegetables do not add "s" at the end for the multiples
Can you tell me which vegetables and fruits that do not need "s" even they are in more than 1, multiples.
For example, A head of lettuce, head of cabbage, how about brocollis or also head of broccolli? What about califlowers? Squash, squashes? Spinachs?
Carrots, onions, potatoes, corns, bell peppers, I sort of understand but. Could you also tell me the reason for not putting s at the end.
I looked everywhere but could not find the answer. Thank you very much and hope to hear from you soon.
