Which should we us here?

Thanks

He likes sports. Use the plural.

Just like you would say "He likes animals."

Hi GG,

Thank you for answering my question. How about this one?
"Skating is a kind of sport."
Is 'sport' correct here? And 'sports' is not correct in the sentence?

Thanks.

Yes, again, using the animals example.

Skating is a kind of sport.

A dog is a type of animal. You wouldn't say "A dog is a type of animals."

It was me posting anon, sorry.

I thought it would broaden the perspective of the original poster, that's all. Not directly connected.
