May I say:
- I eat cake.
- I wear a pants.
Are they write? Please help me. Thanks very much
I’m eating a cake.
I often eat cakes.
I often wear pants.
I’m wearing pants.
Those are right (not ‘write’). Also, please use a meaningful title in your post’s subject line and post your questions in the ‘grammar’ section. Many thanks.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Cake does not necessarily need an article. I am eating a cake means I am eating the whole thing - hopefully a small one. I am eating cake means I am eating some cake - it is unclear exactly how much. I eat cake means cake is something I eat on occasion - not necessarily now - I eat cake, does that make me a cakeovore?
many thanks for all your help. My dear tutors.
Best regards.!
Hi Luschen,
What did you mean when you wrote " cakeovore"?. I could not understand.
Can you clarify when " cake " is countable and uncountable noun.
Thanks for your help again.
I was making a little joke - a “carnivore” is someone {or more often, something, like an animal} who eats meat, so I was joking that a “cakeovore” might be someone who eats cake.
I would say cake is usually countable except when you are talking about eating part of one.
“I baked a cake.”
“I bought a cake at the store.”
“Eating cake can be unhealthy.”
“I ate cake at the birthday party.”
Yes. thanks for your help.
Best regards.
