Kind is the most frequent of these words in this meaning.

Type is slightly more formal than the other two words and tends to be used more to talk about things that can be divided into classes or groups in a fairly objective way, for example in official, scientific or academic contexts. 这几个词中kind的使用频率最高,sort的使用频率也较高,但稍不如kind正式。sort多用于口语而非书面语,多用于英式英语而非美式英语。type比另外两个词稍正式些,往往指可以很客观地去分类的事物,例如官方、科学或学术语境中的事物。 form [countable] one type of a thing that exists in a number of different types, especially when these have different physical characteristics (尤指根据物理特性界定的)类型,种类We need to look for an alternative form of energy.我们需要寻找一种替代型能源。This is one of the most common forms of cancer.这是其中一种最常见的癌症。Will we ever discover intelligent life forms on other planets?我们会在其他星球上发现高智能的生命形态吗?Music is not like other art forms.音乐不同于其他艺术形式。Different forms of a thing are usually different in their physical characteristics, in a way that different types of a thing need not be. 一种事物的不同form通常具有不同的物理特性,而一种事物的不同type则不一定这样He mixes with all forms of people.
