[Grammar] What great fun or what a great fun

[lovecindy]

Good morning, teachers.
I know 'fun' is one of the uncountable nouns, but can I say what a great fun? Is that correct?
Thank you!:-D

早安, 爸爸 :-D

You said "fun" is uncountable. Correct. In "what a great fun", "a" would belong to "fun", but then, would it not mean that "fun" can be premodified by "a", in which case "fun" would be a countable noun?

:-DLOL, you shouldn't say'爸爸', which refers to dad.

I know, but sometimes there is some special situation in which uncountable nouns can be used in plural forms or singular forms.
