Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

or‧ange 1 /ˈɒrəndʒ $ ˈɔː-, ˈɑː-/ ●●● S1 W2 noun

1 Image of orange[countable] a round fruit that has a thick orange skin and is divided into parts inside

Peel the oranges and divide them into segments.

orange juice

orange peel

orange groves (=areas of orange trees)

A little child can only eat some segments of an orange. An orange or 2 oranges are way too much for him.

So, if I say "he is eating oranges or some oranges" then that is not right.

But if I say "he is eating orange or some orange" then it breaks the rule which says "countable nouns can not stand alone in its singular form without articles" (source)

can we say "he is eating orange or some orange" when we mean "he is eating some segments of an orange"?
