Is salt a countable or uncountable noun?

Salt can be both a countable and uncountable noun, depending on the context.

Uncountable noun:

* When referring to salt as a substance, it is uncountable.

* Example: "Add some salt to the soup."

* In this case, you wouldn't say "one salt" or "two salts."

Countable noun:

* When referring to specific units of salt, it becomes countable.

* Example: "There are three salts on the table."

* Here, "salts" refers to individual containers or packets of salt.

To determine if "salt" is countable or uncountable, consider the context and the intended meaning.
