Dear Gurus, In my daughter's English text book, we can find the following questions and answers: 1. What kind of life does Jill want? - She wants an ordinary life. 2. What kind of a life will they have together? - We'll have an ordinary life together. As I know, 'What kind of water...' doesn't need 'a' (because 'water' here is an uncountable noun), but 'What kind of a book...' needs 'a' ('cause 'book' is a countable noun). So, the question is: why in those (1) and (2) examples from the textbook, (1) is 'kind of life' but (2) is kind of a life? I think, both (1) and (2) are OK because 'life' can be, in different contexts, understood as a countable and an uncountable noun). Am I right? And if so, why in the textbook they use both variants in exactly same context? Thank you!

You will go to bed when you finish cleaning your room. I'm pretty sure, (3) is okay - am I right? And how about (1) and (2)? Which verb forb in (1) and (2) we should use? Thank you!

Dear Gurus, Here is a sentence from a short dialogue between two friends: (1) Hi, Sam. I hear of your new business project. Should/Must we say (2) 'I've heard of your new business project.'? Intuitively, I feel (2) is better but in a small talk between two friends, using common colloquial style, how about (1)? Are both (1) and (2) correct and natural and if so - which of them is better, please? Thank you.

Dear Gurus, The Q&A are: Are five of the world's top ten piano players from the Japanese? - No, five of the world's top ten piano players are from the Americans/Chinese/British/Brits...? Here, I want to ask whether those piano players belong to the Japanese people as a national self-identity (so they do not necessarily live in Japan). When we talk about a group of people, for some nationalities we use nouns (the Americans), for others - adjectives (the Chinese but not the ChinesES), how about my Q&A about? Is it okay? Thank you!
