re: fruit
Dear friends,
I know that the word "fruit" is both a countable noun and an uncountable noun. But I wonder when I can use it as a countable noun, and when I can use it as an uncountable noun. For example, are both " two kinds of fruit" and "two kinds of fruits" right? And are both " what kind of fruit do you like" and " what kinds of fruits do you like" right?
A million thanks.
