which one is right? Or do you have any other suggetsons? |
1. I like Korean food - this is correct
2. There are many types/kinds of Korean food [ food :uncountable noun]
e.g What type of food do you usually have / eat?
1. There are many types of cars
Fruit has the same form in the singular and in the plural; this noun has 2 forms in the plural :fruit and fruits [depending on the context]
Fruits are good to eat.[plural]
She is buying some fruit . [plural]
She is buying a fruit.[singular]
There are so many fruits [ types of fruit] in that market!
