usage note for kind

The phrase these (or those ) kind of, followed by a plural noun ( these kind of flowers; those kind of shoes ) is frequently condemned as ungrammatical because it is said to combine a plural demonstrative ( these; those ) with a singular noun, kind. Historically, kind is an unchanged or unmarked plural noun like deer, folk, sheep, and swine, and the construction these kind of is an old one, occurring in the writings of Shakespeare, Swift, Jane Austen, and, in modern times, Jimmy Carter and Winston Churchill. Kind has also developed the plural kinds, evidently because of the feeling that the old pattern was incorrect. These kind of nevertheless persists in use, especially in less formal speech and writing. In edited, more formal prose, this kind of and these kinds of are more common. Sort of has been influenced by the use of kind as an unchanged plural: these sort of books. This construction too is often considered incorrect and appears mainly in less formal speech and writing.
Kind (or sort ) of as an adverbial modifier meaning “somewhat” occurs in informal speech and writing: Sales have been kind (or sort ) of slow these last few weeks.

  • Английский (американский вариант)

Kind is an adjective.
Kindly is usually used as an adverb before or after the verb it is modifying. It can also be used as an adjective before the noun it is modifying, but it is kind of old-fashioned sounding. (It’s not bad or negative in any way, just unusual.) http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/de…

She is a kind person. She is a kindly person.

She speaks kindly.

@witchakemi I think @LadyChampionClara already explained it in full detail. ^^



@LadyChampionClara Thank you. I got it. Some Japanese told me that «kindly» is not used before nouns for person; man, woman, lady, neighbor, and so on. But it should be wrong😁



@parkergirl0817 thank you so much for sincerely answering my question.

@witchakemi No problem. You’re welcome. ^^




  • Английский (американский вариант)

@witchakemi わかります。They are incorrect, because it is used mostly in books. I can understand why they told you that it is not used as an adjective. It is unusual, so they may have never heard of it before.
