sometime

sometime,some time与sometimes sometimes四个都可以表示时间。它们看起来没多大区别，但用法却各不相同。

1 sometimes用作副词，表示“有的时候”，与from time to time 意思相同，可以把它放在句首，句尾或句中。sometimes是频率副词，它暗指某动作（在过去、现在或将来）有时候重复。如：

Last year she went to the park sometimes.

Sometimes I get up at six.

I sometimes think you are wrong.

2 sometime 用作副词。表示某个不确切或不具体的时间，表示“某个时候”，它后面应该接一个过去或将来的时间。例如：

Tom went back home sometime last month.

We will have a meeting sometime next week.(sometime last year,sometime next month等常修饰非延续性的谓语)

另外，sometime还可以用作形容词，表示“以前的”，如：

A sometime student of yours is waiting for you at the gate.

3 some time 表示"一些时间"或“一段时间”，可以用作名词或副词短语。例如：

She always spends some time on her English.

It took us some time to water the flowers.

some time表"某一段时间"时，常常修饰延续性的谓语。如：

She stayed in bed for some time.

I will work in Japan for some time.

4. some times 是名词词组，意为“几次，几倍”，如：

I met him some times in the street last month.

The factory is some times larger than that one.
