Ponganse de acuerdo con las traducciones que corrigen some es algunas y no unas
If you are talking about several different kinds of fruit, it is generally acceptable to use fruits. For example. strawberry, raspberry and cranberry fruits is an instance of this
This is tricky to explain, because there are few strict rules about which nouns are countable and uncountable, so I will hope you will forgive this over-simplified account:
Some nouns (e.g. chair) are countable. We can say "one chair", "two chairs", etc. They have singular and plural forms. Other nouns are uncountable. We do not say "one fun" "two funs". There is no plural form of fun. Many nouns have both countable and uncountable senses. E.g. you can have a bar of chocolate [uncountable], or a box of chocolates [countable, plural]. Nouns for classes of foodstuff (fruit, meat, cheese, etc.) are usually uncountable, but they take a countable sense when we talk about different varieties (a wide selection of cold meats and cheeses). Your example sentence talks about different varieties of fruit, so fruits is fine
El quiere frutas... Plural... Si en la respuesta pone wants ya no es necesario poner la fruta en plural... No se si me hago entender jeje
En todos los casos La palabra some le da el carácter plural a los sustantivos?
No. Some es algún/os/as. Pero no pluraliza al sustantivo.I have some books, Si es negativo o interrogarivo hay que usar any con el mismo significado. Pero ten en cuenta que some también significa algo de para nombres incontables. There is some wáter.
