countable and uncountable

So am I to assume that all pasta dishes [spaghetti has come up in other exercises] are considered countable and thus the "des", while bread is uncountable and thus the "du"?

Hi Mike,

Yes,

In French the generic term is

des pâtes = pasta

also

des spaghettis = spaghetti

des maraconis = macaroni

etc

But

du pain = bread

Bonne Continuation !
