kind of

[toebular]

What we often forget to instruct/tell learners of English is how VERY frequently the "kind of" phrase is used - "Wait, I'm thinking" , "Quite a bit /Very very true," or "Just a little true" .... are some of the ways one might hear .. "KIND OF." American 'kids' (+ U.K ?) lose their habit to say this unspecific double-word as they grow toward 25 or 30, but not all. And everyone even older uses it, though rarely, in speaking (not writing, in my observation. So don't get into that, in my view.).

Hey Paul, I'm getting different meanings with the idiom "in honor of". What does it mean?

[EdersinhoMckey]

kind of.. it's a dificult topic

[youseftubeable]

You are very  very helpful.

[NenshouHinote]

In some instances, "kind of" can mean "rather" as well; it has, in my experience, also been used to mean "almost", like in the exchange: [Person One] "Does that work?" [Person Two] "Kind of."

It's a kind of magic... I mean this video.

[Alex87553]

Very interesting Professor Paul, but we have always learnt that "KIND OF "KINDA"" IS THE SAME "TYPE OF". I guess I must use it on limited cases, it´s not?

[bburago9]

Can you explain the use of here and there, I'm kind of confused with sentences such as 'here comes the sun' or 'here is...' because I've never heard something like 'there comes the sun' I think it'd be wrong

[sbasalan]

Thanks Paul, appreciate. Pls make a video for when the dollar ammount is used as an adj we cannot pluralize it but when it is used as a noun we have to pluralize it.
