"type of", "kind of", and "sort of" are compound determiners
So, you made this revert as unsupported. On the other hand, native speakers of English subconsciously and automatically use "type of", "kind of", and "sort of" as compound determiners. For example:
- "This is a type of company that..." Correct
- "This is a type of a company that..." Wrong!
But "part of" is not a determiner:
- "This is a part of company that..." 1 Wrong!
- "This is a part of a company that..." Correct
I am amazed that I cannot find any source on something, that should be explained in every grammar textbook. But you, as a professor of English, could explain it on your website, and then we could cite you. Regards 85.193.215.210 (talk) 13:14, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
