Yes, fries are plural....but when you are talking about an order ... 1 order .... 1 order of fries
1 large order of fries.... "a" large order of fries... or "a" large fries
a large fries = 1 order of large fries
Then you could order fries this way:
"I would like large fries, please"
"I would like 1 large fries, please"
"I would like a large fries, please"
"I would like 2 large fries, please"
The same rule would apply for ordering things that are uncountable....
Coffee / tea / juice / beer etc. (drinks) are normally uncountable:
I don't like coffee very much.
But you can say a coffee (=a cup of coffeee), two coffees(=2 cups of coffeee, etc when you are ordering at a restaurant.
I would like 2 coffees and an orange juice, please.
I found one video on Youtube. If you listen carefully ... She says "a large fries" (=a large order of fries)
Hope that helps...Gotta run back to class now....Good Luck! Everybody study hard!
