Need apple?
Hi, please help. I believe the sentence "I like apple" is incorrect. But is the sentence "I need apple" or "I need banana" correct?

Anonymous But is the sentence "I need apple" or "I need banana" correct? Just as incorrect as 'I like apple'. We use the non-count noun when we are speaking of the flavors, and it is a rare use for fruits and vegetables that have a distinct shape and size in our minds: What kind of pie do you like?

AnonymousI believe the sentence "I like apple" is incorrect.You are right: the sentence is incorrect. In such cases, we say "I like apples", if you want to say that you like apples in general. If you feel like having an apple - just one - you should say, "I would like an apple."
