          A jak dokladnie jest z owocami?

          1. tropical fruits such as mangoes and papaya
          but
          2. eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
          in fruit (of a tree or plant)
          all this fruit has gone bad
          fruit salad, fruit bowl
          we'll have fruit for afters
          would you like some more fruit?

          Eating fruit is good for you ( I'm not sure about this one)

            Fish can be a singular count noun, and its usual plural is also fish. Fruit as
            a singular count noun has the plural of fruits. For example:

            Bob and I went fishing, and we caught 17 fish.
            There are four or five fish swimming around in my fish tank.
            On the tropical island, there are wonderful fruits growing all over.
            You should eat three different fruits per day.


            HOWEVER, both fish and fruit more commonly appear as noncount nouns, which do
            not have plurals. For example, you would say:

            I had a little fish and a salad for dinner.
            He eats a lot of meat, but he doesn't eat much fish.
            Fruit is very good for you, and vegetables are too.
            There isn't much fresh fruit available at this time of year.

            >> Eating fruit is good for you ( I'm not sure about this one)
            You are correct then here, eating fruit IS good for you :)

            It is normal in conversation to use fruit as a noncount noun. Fruits used in
            sentences like these would sound strange.

            When do you use the plural count noun fruits? You use fruits to refer to
            different species of fruit. However, fruits as a plural count noun as in these
            sentences is much less frequent than fruit as a noncount noun.

            Is fishes a plural of fish? Yes, it is, but an infrequently used plural. You
            can use fishes to refer to different species of fish, particularly in a
            scientific context:

            Baxter is going to present his research on "Fishes of the North Atlantic" at
            the biologists' conference.
            Several fishes in the region have become extinct.

            So, both fishes and fruits are plurals, but not the most common ones. They both
            are used to refer to species, but not used so commonly in everyday
            conversations.

            Fascinating, isn't it? :))

            cheers

                Thanks :) I think I got my head round the theory, but some of these fruits
                still stick in my throat.

                See examples:

                ...Grape wine offers several varieties of one species of fruit, whereas other-
                than-grape fruit wines are made from many different species of fruit, each with
                its ...

                The student should become familiar with the growth and fruiting
                habit of different species of fruit trees by observing dormant shoots...

                Many temperate species of fruit require a period of cold before the flower
                buds develop in spring.
