Kind-英语学习中的难点辨析

辨析：kind of,  a kind of,  kinds of

这三种是关于kind最常见的形式；

kind of : 类似于副词, 多数情况可以和sort of替换，多用于口语

E.g. For me, it is kind of astonishing.

Actually, you kind of helped me out.

---

a kind of: 一种，某种。后面接可数名词单数或不可数名词

E.g. A giant panda is a kind of bear.

      It has a kind of authority to it.

也可以是what/some/any kind of

E.g. Like I was some kind of idiot. 好像我是什么笨蛋似的。

      What kind of rooms do you want?

至于what kind of 后面的单复数情况视情况而定

E.g. What kind of responsibilities does that job entail?

      这份工作需要承担什么样的责任呢？

      What kind of photographer is he, amateur or professional?

---

(all, different)kinds of: 各种各样，多种多样。因此接可数名词复数。

E.g. There are different kinds of voter fraud.

同时也有some/what/any kinds of的用法

---

总结完了自己也有点懵，看见网上有人提出这样的问题，

我感觉这是一种语言习惯，书本上没有的，平时也没注意这些。
