kind作名詞用時，表示種類。
比較下面的結(jié)構(gòu)： a kind of +單數(shù)名詞（不加冠詞） 一種 this kind of +單數(shù)名詞（不加冠詞） 這種 many kinds of +單數(shù)名詞丨復(fù)數(shù)名詞（不加冠詞) 許多種 different kinds of +單數(shù)名詞丨復(fù)數(shù)名詞（不加冠詞) 不同種類 these kinds of +單數(shù)名詞丨復(fù)數(shù)名詞（不加冠詞) 這些種類 all kinds of 單數(shù)名詞丨復(fù)數(shù)名詞（不加冠詞) 各種 This is a new kind of pen.(正）這是一種新型鋼筆。 I like that kind of apple.(正）我喜歡那種蘋果 He saw many kinds of machine.(正）他見到了許多種機(jī)器。 He wants to buy different kinds of stamp.(正）他想買不同種類的郵票。 She lent me three kinds of book.(正）她借給我三種書。 He has read all kinds of story-book.(正）他讀過各種各樣的故事書。 【比較】 ■ many kinds of, different kinds of, these kinds of 和 all kinds of 修飾名詞作主語時，謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。 、 a kind of+名詞結(jié)構(gòu)中，形容詞通常修飾kind，修飾名詞的情況偶爾也有，但不自然。 sort也可表示“種類”，多用于口語，常可同kind換用。 但sort多指大體相同的人或物，而kind多指在本質(zhì)和特點上相同的人或物。 This sort/kind of shirt is cheaper.這種襯衫便宜一些。 【提示】在 these sort of things, what sort of pens 中，sort 要用單數(shù)。 What sort of pens do you want?(正）你要哪種鋼筆？ What sorts of pens do you want?(誤） 比較 What kind of animal is it?這是什么動物？（問種類） What kind of an animal is it?這個動物怎樣？（問優(yōu)劣，特點等） 【提示】“kind of a+單數(shù)名詞”表不“怎樣一種”。 I don’t know what kind of a man he is.我不知道他是怎樣一個人。 What kind of a job are you going to take?你要做什么樣的工作？ He has some sort of an English accent.他說話略帶英國口音。 kind和sort of可以用作狀語，表示“有點”，修飾形容詞、副詞或動詞。
He is kind of tired.他有點累了。 I feel sort of worried about her.我有點為她擔(dān)心。 I sort of believe it.我有點相信這件事。 a sort of和of a sort表不“可以說是的人、物”，暗不名不符實。 He is a sort of professor.他也算是個教授吧。=a professor of a sort ==========================================
【Usage note: kind / sort】
■Use the singular (kind/sort) or plural (kinds/sorts) depending on the word you use before them:each/one/every kind of animal ◇ all/many/other sorts of animals.
■Kind/sort of is followed by a singular or uncountable noun:This kind of question often appears in the exam. ◇ That sort of behaviour is not acceptable. ■Kinds/sorts of is followed by a plural or uncountable noun:These kinds of questions often appear in the exam. ◇ These sorts of behaviour are not acceptable. ■Other variations are possible but less common:These kinds of question often appear in the exam. ◇ These sort of things don’t happen in real life.
