Grammar
Two questions
Hi,
1. Would you say that these are grammatically correct but unidiomatic?
What foods do you like the best?
What fruits do you like?
More idiomatic would be (I think):
What kind of food do you like the best?
What kind of fruit do you like?
2, I think with certain phrases comes what I could phrase as no need to put articles. For example:
a type of person
a sort of apple
Then, I think the word 'service' is countable here and does the existence of the words 'a form' or 'a particular form' does the same thing here?
a particular form of religious service

Thank you.
1.I think the answers you gave for the second on should be correct for both of them. On the second thoughts, both answers could be used for both questions and does have to one or the other. Do you think your answers are correct? I know you are very knowlegeable.
"What fruits do you like?" Answers: I like yellow bananas that are not too ripe. I like tart Bing c
