One day you will be king.
Hello, I can't understand why the noun king is uncountable in this case.
Isn't it correct to say
One day you will be a king. (just like one day you will be a baker, a journalist, etc.)
or mabye
One day you will be the king. (this is what most Euroepan languages use)
And are there any other words similar to the king which are uncountable nouns.
Thanka a lot.
