A sort
Dear all,
I would like to know whether the following sentences are correct. Recently in a Spoken English class the teacher taught the use of the word "a sort" in sentences. She explained it means "all are same, no one or nothing has any speciality". The following are the examples given by her. Kindly enlighten me on this.
1.All the hospitals are a sort.
2.All the students are a sort.
3.He is such a sort.
4.All the political leaders are such a sort.
5.Sort of tea.
Thanking you.
