Hi,

Why we say:

They have no children.

but:

Give him no more cake.

What is the difference btw:
Give him no more cake.
and:
Give him no more cakes.

Hi Quoc

[Tom]

Same is the case with EGG, Quoc, I suppose!

1- I had egg for dinner.(maybe many eggs beaten but served as one dish)

2- He had an egg for dinner.(Just one egg beaten: omelette or half fried)

Have I put the words correctly in your mouth, Amy?

Hi Tom

Good examples.
To be honest, though, I'd probably be more likely to say something such as "I had egg souffle for dinner" (one dish).
