mostly (of)
Hi, there
Which of THESE sentences are right? With or without “of”?
“I will make some brown rice, but I will make mostly (OF) the white kind”
“I’ll make some brown rice, but I will make more (OF) the white kind”?
And one last thing: should I way “I’ll make some brown rice, but I will make more white rice” or “...but I will make mostly white”?
Thank you

1. Don’t use of.
2. Use of.
3. Both are ok but I will make more white rice sounds more natural.

1. Saying, "I will make some brown rice, but I will make mostly white rice," is correct. An alternative is, "I will make some brown rice, but I will mostly be making white rice."
2. "I'll make some brown rice, but I will make more of the white kind (of rice)," is also correct.
3. You should say, "I'll make some brown rice, but I will make more white rice," so that you're being specific as to what you're making!
