如：I only like this kind [sort] of flower (bread).我只喜歡這種花(面包).What kind [sort] of picture do you like best?你最喜歡什么樣的圖畫?注：在口語或非正式文體中有時(shí)也可在kind of后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞.如：What kind [sort] of pictures do you like best?你最喜歡什么樣的圖畫?2.復(fù)數(shù)形式的kinds [sorts] of則通常用于復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞前（名詞前也不用冠詞）.如：I enjoy these kinds [sorts] of films.我喜歡這些類型的電影.They sell all kinds [sorts] of cheese.他們出售各種奶酪.What kinds [sorts] of pictures do you like best?你最喜歡哪些種類的圖畫?但是,在現(xiàn)代英語中,復(fù)數(shù)形式的kinds [sorts] of 也可用于單數(shù)名詞前.如：I’ve seen many kinds [sorts] of car.我見過許多類型的汽車.所以綜合以上內(nèi)容可知：以下四句從語法上看都是正確的,但以第一句和第四句最為普通：What kind [sort] of book do you like reading?你喜歡讀哪種書?What kind [sort] of books do you like reading?你喜歡讀哪種書?What kinds [sorts] of book do you like reading?你喜歡讀哪種書?What kinds [sorts] of books do you like reading?你喜歡讀哪種書?3.比較以下同義表達(dá)：This kind [sort] of computer is of good quality.=Computers of this kind [sort] are of good quality.這種電腦質(zhì)量很好.Many kinds [sorts] of snakes are found in Africa.=Snakes of many kinds [sorts] are found in Africa.非洲有很多種蛇.4.比較What kind [sort] of ...和What kind [sort] of a ...兩者從形式上看,一個(gè)帶不定冠詞,一個(gè)不帶不定冠詞；從意思上看兩者稍有區(qū)別：(1) What kind [sort] of ...側(cè)重指類型、類別、種類等,其中的 what 具有類似 which的含義.如：What kind [sort] of car is it?這是什么牌子的車?(2) What kind [sort] of a...側(cè)重指作用、性質(zhì)、性能等,其中的what具有類似how的含義.如：What kind [sort] of a car is it?這種車質(zhì)量如何?主要參考資料：《朗文英語語法》《英語常用詞多用途詞典》
