A Quick Tip About RICE
“Rice” is uncountable — you cannot say “a rice” or “two rices”. To count, say a bowl of rice or a grain of rice for one tiny grain.
Saying “a rice”
✗ I want a rice for dinner.
✓ I want rice for dinner.
Easy way to remember: rice is too small to count one at a time. Just say rice, or a bowl of rice for a serving.
