For ESL learners, be careful as there are few of these that do have very common countable forms, for example "cake". If you say "a cake" it will sound normal but be interpreted as meaning "a whole cake". Likewise, if you say "a chocolate" it will be interpreted as meaning a smallish chocolate confection like a bonbon.
It may be either countable or uncountable. A number of words work like this. If you're talking about cake in general ("I like cake"), it's uncountable. But we can also speak of chocolate, carrot, and angel food cakes.
This is ridiculous and not accurate at all, at least in the common vernacular. My son does arts and crafts, people put on airs, the hotel I was just at had luxurious accommodations, life is like a box of chocolates... if you OPEN the box and examine its contents. Lol, its just silly. I feel bad for people who have to learn English as a second language.
There are forms forms that are countable but in most of these cases the most common usage or at least a very common usage of the noun is uncountable. In particular, you couldn't just put "a" in front of them and have them sound right.
Thank you ❤! I printed this, It is very useful to me.
You're welcome 😊
