Hello teachers! Good morning from Japan.
I have a question about the usage of the countable / uncountable
form of gemstones (diamond, opal, etc...).
When I look up these words in the dictionary, it says that
they can be used both as a countable and uncountable
noun.
What exactly is the difference between the two, and if I were
to use it in the following sentence, which should I use?
"People started to live in the town after they found some
opal(s) in a cave nearby."
Thank you for your help as always!
