Dear Rachel , Would you please help with this question. It was asked by someone else. Are these questions right? I'm waiting for your kind reply. Thank you very much.
Original Post. RM Rachel, Moderator Member. Hello, Sayed: Sentences a , b , and c are grammatically correct. Sentence a assumes there are many different kinds of dessert. Sentence b also assumes many kinds of dessert, but "dessert" in this case is thought of as a noncount noun. This sentence is similar in concept to "kinds of advice," "kinds of information" and "kinds of coffee. Sentence d is incorrect.
While "kind" is a singular word, it refers to plural desserts. Since the idea of desserts is plural you would need to use a plural verb, as in, "What kind of desserts are there? You do hear this, though. Dear Rachel, Many thanks for your kind reply but I have some questions as for No. I agree with you that "desserts " is plural and need plural verb " are " but : 1- Do " kinds " as plural should be -grammatically - followed by plural noun?
It only takes a minute to sign up. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. In American English, "kinds" is correct because "those" goes with a plural. From what I've seen, British English would be more likely to use "those kind," taking into consideration that "kind" refers to a group even though it isn't plural itself.
I don't know which specific kind of English speaker would use 'kind', because 'goods' indicates or implicates various objects. Never forget to pluralize. You would only use 'kind' if one were trying to refer to one specific object. In that case, a sentence would be formed using ' that kind of good'. Here, you most definitely are required to opt for 'those kinds of goods'. Sign up to join this community. The second question is expecting multiple answers.
The fourth question is not correct. These kind of books. This is incorrect. The plural demonstrative these is used for modifying the singular noun kind. We should use a singular demonstrative or plural noun instead. These kinds of books. This is correct. It is used when talking about multiple books. This kinds of book. The singular demonstrative this is modifying the plural noun kinds.
This kind of book. We are talking about one kind of type of thing. It is something you like to do and are good at. If you say you kind of like the movie, it means that you liked it to some degree.
