Read a book or books in the evening?
Hi. Which is correct as the answer for each of the two answers? Or perhaps are they both correct as the answers for each of the two answers? Thank you in advance for your help.
Q: What do you do in the evening?
A: I read a book or books.
A: I make a pizza or pizza.
Q: What do you do in the evening?
A: I read a book or books.
A: I make a pizza or pizza.

Hi, As for your first sentences, both options are correct. For the second sentence, as pizza is uncountable referring to that type of food, it should be used with an article. Note that, pizza can be countable if you are talking about quantities of pizza.

Hi. Thank you. I think we can use both "I make pizza" and "I make pizza" in answer to the question "What do you do in the evening?" In fact, I think the uncountable version, "I make pizza," is better because the answer "I make a pizza" implies you are making a pizza routinely every evening. I also think when someone says, "I make pizza," they are using the word "pizza" as a substance
