Word usage:
1. When type means "type, type" or "representative people, things, things, etc.; typical", it is often used together with of. In American English, type is often used to directly modify a noun to indicate the type or kind of something, instead of using type?of. Type can also mean "a certain type of person".
2. When type is interpreted as "typing", it can be used as an intransitive verb or a transitive verb. When used as a transitive verb, it is followed by a noun or wh-clause as the object. Sometimes it can be connected to a double object, and its indirect object can be transformed into the object of the preposition for. Can be used in passive structures.
