A Quick Tip About WATER

“Water” is uncountable — say some water or a glass of water, not “a water”. In a restaurant, you can say “two waters, please” as short for “two glasses of water”, but in everyday English, just say water.

Saying “a water” in everyday English

✗ I want a water, please.
✓ I want some water, please.

Easy way to remember: water is liquid — you cannot count drops. Say water, some water, or a glass of water.
