I have two questions about noun. 1. Would you like to let me know the differences between "I like cake " and "I like cakes"? A friend of mine says "I lke cake" means he/she likes all kinds of cakes whereas "I like cakes" means the idea of cake. I still don't know the differences. 2. Why can't you say, "I like watermelons," although you cansay "I like melons"?
