kind of vs. sort of

[Sipa2008]

Hi Ralf, Yesterday i was reading about intensifiers and i found these examples: " She's kind of depressed" and " He's sort of easygoing." so a doubt came out there is any difference between KIND OF and SORT OF or They are interchangeable? Thanks in advance. Regards. Silvina

Hi Silviana,

You are right, these intensifiers are interchangeable. But they are more common in everyday language than in writing :wink:

Take care,

Ralf
