A Quick Tip About LEMON
“Lemon” can be countable (one lemon, two lemons) or uncountable (a little lemon = some lemon juice or pieces). For the whole fruit, count it: a lemon. For the flavour or juice, no “a”: lemon in my tea.
Saying “a lemon” when you mean the flavour
✗ I put a lemon in my tea.
✓ I put lemon in my tea.
Easy way to remember: if you can hold the whole fruit in your hand, it’s a lemon. If it’s a flavour or juice, just say lemon.
