In daily conversation, 'fruit' is usually uncountable-- 'she had gone to buy fruit'. There is some individual variation in this usage, however. 'Poor' is a different case: it is the nominal use of an adjective, and these are uncountable. 'The mother feeds the poor', 'the rich get richer', 'the sick and wounded were left to die'.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plurals/lgcr/post.htmWed, 25 Mar 2009 11:37:11 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:55811elcid2http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plurals/lgcr/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-55811.xmlI think these two sentences are correct "she had gone to buy fruits." "the mother feeds the poors" but it was given that the plural used here is wrong here;in fact, it was written that these words always exist in singular form.
