how much / many fruit

How much fruit do you eat? You’d expect a reply like I have an apple at lunch and perhaps some grapes for supper, most days.
How many fruits do you eat? You’d expect a reply like Well I eat apples and oranges and grapefruit and plums occasionally, so that’s four.
If you want to know how many oranges someone eats you just say how many oranges do you eat?

Many words classed as uncountable (i.e. mass nouns) are also countable. However, when you shift between countability and uncountability the meaning always changes.
Your examples are:
1. «How much fruit do you eat?»
2. «How many fruits do you eat?»
In 1. fruit means an edible product of certain plants, whilst in 2. fruit means a type of edible product of a certain plant. The latter can be counted.

In bulk quantity, it’s usually uncountable. So someone would much more likely say «We bought too much fruit».

It is possible to use the plural «fruits» to focus attention on individual fruits. However, I do not believe this is likely to happen when communicating the idea of an excess purchase of fruit.
Or, in other words, someone thinking or realizing that there is too much variety is very unlikely in this case.
For this sentence, I would use it as an uncountable noun, so use the singular form.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.
So, for example, if there are 3 plates and each one of them has 3 different fruits, is it possible to say «There are 3 plates of fruits»? Or should we say again «There are 3 plates of fruit»? Thanks.
We normally say «three plates of fruit». We, for the most part, view «fruit» as an uncountable bulk quantity no matter the size. Though possible, we do not often find it necessary to call attention to «individual fruits».
We have to have a reason to use «fruit» in the plural form, which is to say as a countable noun. A speaker, or a writer, really has to have some sort of reason to focus on individual fruits.
It’s possible to identify types of fruit, and then we could find there’s reason to use the plural form.
Here’s an example:
That market sells many types of tropical fruits.
There are many fruits in tropical parts of the world that are not normally exported to colder climates.
We could expect that anyone who uses a sentence like the one above is about to name different types of fruits. The focus here is on individual fruits, which is to say types of fruits.
So while «fruit», for the most part — just about all the time — is uncountable, we can find instances in which «fruit» is countable, as well.
It’s good for you to ask about this. In some cases, we find that nouns used as uncountable nouns can also, in certain instances, be countable. So when we find, or someone says, that a noun is uncountable, we should check to find out if it’s really so 100% of the time.

Grammar Help Please..
Hi!
I have a few questions.
Are these sentences correct? If they aren’t, why?
1. ‘My favourite fruit is an apple.’
‘My favourite fruit is apple.’
‘My favourite fruit are apples.’
‘My favourite fruit is apples.’
2. ‘The cheapest food is cakes.’
3. ‘She wanted to go to the library because she wanted to borrow books.’
‘She wanted to go to the library because she wants to borrow books.’
Do help me out. Thanks!
- Guest
I choose » My favourite fruit is apples «
» The cheapest food is cake. «
She wanted to go to the library because she ( wanted ) to borrow books. ( the main clause and the subodinate clause should be in parallel in terms of the tenses )
- whl626
Hello!
Is it possible to use a noun withou article in English?
«The cheapest food is cake» or «The cheapest food is a cake»? Which one is better to write or maybe both. I am not sure, English not my first language.
Thanks. Good luck!
- EnglishFanatic
As far as I know, noun without an article in front is normally used to mean something in general.
The use of ‘ a ‘ means referring to a single thing.
The use of ‘ the ‘ for the purpose of specifying the particular thing.
eg. Life is short, we’d better live to the fullest . We don’t say a life or the life since it means the general life.
- whl626

I think ‘ is ‘ is correct. The singular subject goes with the singular verb.
The use of plural noun after the verb is very much dependent on its necessity at times.
eg. To organize such a benefit concert, I would rather use local talent. ( of course we might choose more than 1 person to the concert but still we say ‘ talent ‘ instead of ‘ talents ‘ ) because the point is not on the number of people.
Since there is no clear-cut explanation in this respect, I see it from this perspective and whether they are right or wrong to say so is well beyond me, hah
- whl626
1. a. ‘My favourite fruit is an apple.’
b. ‘My favourite fruit is apple.’
c. ‘My favourite fruit are apples.’
d. ‘My favourite fruit is apples.’
— You don’t like an apple in particular. ‘My favourite fruit is an apple from Brazil, but I don’t know (or don’t remember) exactly what apple it is’. Then option a. is out.
— ‘My favourite fruit’ requires a singular verb. Thus, it couldn’t be letter c.
— As long as ‘My favourite fruit is’, again, needs a singular object, the only correct answer is letter b.
2. The cheapest food is cake. (See the explanation above.)
3. Both. But if she has already bought it, the second one wouldn’t make sence.
- buggah
The following are both correct:
1. (in the singular) — My favourite fruit is THE apple
2. (in the plural) — My favourite fruit IS apples»
Alternatively, turn it around:
1. (in the singular) — THE apple is my favourite fruit.
2. (in the plural) — Apples ARE my favourite fruit.
EXPLANATION: «fruit» is a mass noun (in this context), so it always takes the singular. The verb «to be» takes its form from the left hand item. Compare the following two (correct) sentences:
3. My favourite music IS The Beatles
4. The Beatles ARE my favourite music
The word «the» makes apple generic, for some curious reason.
«My favourite fruit ARE . » is always wrong, for reasons stated above.
«My favourite fruit is AN apple» is wrong because it’s not generic.
The suggested variant «My favourite fruit is apple» is meaningless in practice. Please observe that, in this example, the word apple is being used as a mass noun, not as a count noun. (As in the phrase «I like apple»). In this context, «apple» has a different meaning — perhaps something like «the flavour of apple» or «the concept of apple». This may NOT complete the sentence «My favourite fruit is. «. That would be nonsense. But «My favourite FLAVOUR is apple» makes perfect sense because the right-hand-side is the same kind of thing as the left-hand-side.
