Re: English question-pls help

countable noun.

Either some onion or onions is correct. For a lower level primary student, it prefers some onions.

Dear funfun,

是,onion是countable noun,但onion是洋'聰'頭(sorry,電腦打不出正字)的意思,我們不會整個onion放在pizza上食.

如果說to put some slices of onion on the pizza會否較好呢?

Re: English question-pls help

---some slices of onion ---

That would be too tedious though. You could write in two ways:

I like to put some slices of onion, bits of ham, a sprinkle of parmasan cheese powder, slices of pepper and shredded beef onto my lovely pizza!

OR

I like to put onion, ham, cheese, pepper and beef on my pizza.

"Onion" represents a singular "item" on the second phrase. Both phrases are correct and it depends if you are writing a friction or under normal converation.

No "s" in your case, because "onion" refers to "a kind of food".  

Some tomato, some onion, some cheese, some meat, some lettuce ......

Re: English question-pls help

"Onion" can be countable or uncountable. A slice of onion is different from an onion because a slice is just a fraction of a whole.
