Plural/Singular
Hi, everyone

Should you say “kind” or “kinds” in this sentence? and “violence” or “violences”?

“We need laws that don’t allow any kind(s) of violation(s) of rights - not political, not civil, not human rights”?

Thank you

Answer

"...any kind of violation of rights." sounds better to me.

Answer

I think it's "any kind of violation of rights" but both are perfectly understandable. Because if I'm not mistaken, "any" is just like "every" and goes with a singular noun.

Please
