This is my style of magazine; it gives me a lot
of information, and the type of information

Now, I've used three terms or phrases: "sort
of", "kind of", "style of" that you may not

be familiar with; or if you are
familiar, you don't truly understand.

My job today is to tell you the difference
between the individual words: "kind", "sort",

"style", and "type"; what it means when you
put "of"; what the slang meaning "of"; and

I have a complicated drawing on the board,
but I'll help you understand it in a second.

And by the time we're done, you'll be able
to use these phrases like a native speaker.

First thing, E: "What are
these types of words?"

The first thing E will tell you is, well, first
of all, they're different types of words

so we can't say they're adjectives,
they're this, this, and this.

Each word has its own meaning,
and sometimes they have two.

I'm going to go to the board now and
start working on that with you.

"Kind" is a word you've
probably heard before.

"She is a kind woman.",
"He has a kind face."

Now, you might not be aware that
it also is a noun, as in category.

If you look over here:
What is "category"?

It is people or things that have something
in common; they share together.

Music can be jazz, blues, classical, rock -
they're in the category of music, not movies,

because they're all types of, you
know, instruments and people singing.

So when you say: "What type of
or kind of music do you like?"

Is it rock?" because they all share music
together, but there's something specific with

each genre or grouping, so we say: "kind
of", and that tells us what category.

And the next one we're going
to talk about is "style".

When we say "style", we say way of
doing something, that's his style.

So, some people like Michael Jordan, when he
used to throw a ball he'd have his tongue

Not many NBA athletes do that, but he would,
so you knew when Michael went: "Ah", he was

I love superheroes so
I'm always wearing...

Not always, but a lot of time wearing
superhero clothing or costumes.

And those of you who know
me know I love Batman.

So, when you talk about someone's style, you
talk about their general appearance; what

Or their way of doing something,
like I said, Michael Jordan.

We also use it for elegance, which means
sophisticated, not common, above average.

Usually people say elegant people
have money, but it's not the case.

It just means they have a certain way about
them that makes them special, and people like

So when you design or make something
in a specific way, it's that style.

So if it's in the classical style,
it's made like the classics.

If it's in the modern style, it's made like
modern things, like all white furniture.

Once we add "of", and you notice I added "of"
to "kind of" to talk about category, once

Same thing, people or
if things are together.

So if you say: "What style of music do you
like?" it's similar to saying: "What kind

The "of" brings these things together to give
them something common or puts them in a given

To go back again, because a lot of times we say
this when we want to talk about what groupings

There's a little bit more to it, which I'll
get back to afterwards, but as long as you

understand that "kind" with "of" and "style"
with "of" are similar that they talk about

Typing: "Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch",
now, you do that on the computer.

It's almost an old-fashion word, people
don't say: "I'm typing at the computer."

We used to have "typewriters", so "write" and
"type" would go together because instead

of using your hand, you would
press the buttons and it would...

They would go up on ink, so you would typewrite
inside of handwrite, and we literally said:

"Did you typewrite the letter
or did you handwrite it?"

Now you type, but you just say: "I'm going to
put in the computer", or: "I'm going to..."

and you forget to use the word "type
it", because it's not necessary.

But typing as an action or
a verb, but once again...

I said "once again" for, like, the fifth time;
however, when you put "type" with "of", you

You can say: "What type of music?" and they
all have the same meaning, which is: Tell

Notice I didn't put "category" here, because
"style" when it's used doesn't really have

that category feeling; it needs
"of" to make it a category.

But you'll notice the other three things I will
talk about will use the noun form category.
