A Quick Tip About CHEESE
“Cheese” is uncountable — do not say “a cheese”. To count, use a piece of cheese or a slice of cheese. There are many KINDS of cheese (cheddar, feta), and you can say cheeses when you mean different types.
Saying “a cheese”
✗ I want a cheese, please.
✓ I want some cheese, please.
Easy way to remember: cheese is one big block you cut into pieces. Say cheese, some cheese, or a slice of cheese.
