Sentence: What kind of website do you like? #1 (permalink) Wed Sep 03, 2008 2:47 am   Sentence: What kind of website do you like?
 

Firstly, I'm not an English native speaker. Sorry for any mistakes that will might occur. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand. ^_^

I have searched this forum for the questions that might be relevant and found some.

My friend asked me if this sentence is written correctly.
"What kind of website do you like ?"
At that time I was confused if there should be "s" after "kind" and/or "website".

And is this sentence correct in the following situation ?
I've made some kinds of weapon(s ?) which there are only 3 ones existing . (this also makes a question itself. xD )
---
Question: Hey, what "kind" of "your weapons" have you sold ?
Answer: Well, I've sold the weapon A and B yesterday.
and
Question: How many "kinds" of "your weapons" have you sold ?
Answer: I have sold 2 types of my weapons.
---
This sentence is from Dictionary -Collins Cobuild-.
Had jamie ever been in any kind of trouble ?
What makes it's not necessary to have "s" after kind and trouble ?

I've already asked this in a Thai forum.

.
These are OK:

"What kind of website do you like?" (one kind)
"What kind of website do you like?" (several kinds)

I've made some kinds of weapons for which there are only 3 in existence. (several kinds of weapons)
I've made a kind of weapon for which there are only 3 in existence. (one kind of weapon)

Question: Hey, what kind(s) of weapons have you sold ?
Answer: Well, I sold weapon A and B yesterday.

Question: How many kinds of weapons have you sold ?
Answer: I have sold 2 types of my weapons.

Had Jamie ever been in any kind of trouble?
What makes it not necessary to have "s" after kind and trouble ?-- The speaker is merely imagining any single kind.

The above two sentences are identical, aren't they?

Yes, I forgot the esses. An occupational hazard of cutting and pasting.
