Let's learn 'kind'
It's very common to use kind as an adjective – kind describes someone who is caring and helpful, and it can also describe the actions that make them that way.
He always helps me – he's really kind.
That's such a kind gesture!
We also use this word as a noun to say what group something is in.
Tigers are a kind of cat.
Be careful! We can use 'kind of' to suggest that something is only just that type of thing.
This colour - it's kind of blue, kind of green, somewhere in the middle.
OK, it's kind of complicated but we use 'kind' as an adjective for good acts and good people – and we use it as a noun to talk about categories of things.
