Like vs kind of/ sort of

1. That's it? Just a bed? There's not, like a TV inside?
2. He's been kinda quiet since Kathy left.
3. I kinda like him.

I'd like to know if I can use "like" for noun equivalents and I can use "kind of/ sort of" for other other components of sentence except for noun equivalents.
Thank you in advance for your help.

'Like' is not a 'noun equivalent' ; it's a meaningless filler. The spoken 'kinda' functions adverbially
