a nice response vs nice response

[gauri_agr]

Hi, Do I need to use a before nice response. I feel response is uncountable noun like help. So I need to drop a but I searched in google it seems I am wrong. Please help me with this.

"Response" is not like "help". We can have many "responses", but not many "helps".

You said "I feel 'response' is an uncountable noun". Why are you relying on your feelings? You can check any noun in a variety of dictionaries and you will find out if the noun is countable or uncountable. This is a great one: One Look Dictionary
