John was eating BEETROOT while studying English.
Hello,
Could you help me to understand why there isn´t the article "a" before the word beetroot in my subject question. Is it an uncountable noun? Because I don´t think so.
(in my textbook there are some other examples with this word: I will eat beetroot with my dinner. Beetroot is one of the most popular vegetables in many European countries. Do you think most people like beetroot?
Many thanks in advance.
