Hello, everyone.
I found the following example sentence in Longman Dictionary Online:
Can we have strawberries? They're my favourite.
I think "favourite" in this context should be a count noun, so why don't it be They're my favourites?
Thanks!I am not a teacher. If there is anything ungrammatical in my post, please correct it. I am grateful for your help.

"Favourites" isn't wrong but I see the original sentence as being a shortened form of "They're my favourite fruit" or "They're my favourite food".
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
