Fruits

And the noun "fruit"? Plural or not? Countable or not?
In English, "fruit" can be both singular and plural, but it depends on what you mean:

- Singular or uncountable ("fruit") - when you talk about fruit in general or as a type of food.
Example: I like fruit. (means fruit in general, not one kind)
Example: We bought some fruit at the market.

- Plural ("fruits") - when you talk about different kinds or types of fruit.
Example: There are many tropical fruits in this country.
Example: Apples and bananas are my favorite fruits.

So:

- "fruit" = general, uncountable
- "fruits" = different kinds
