光看Sometime, Some Time 和 Sometimes這幾個詞,很明顯他們的意思是差不多的,但這些英語單詞的運用是不一樣的。

具體的英語單詞運用,請參閱下面例句。
Sometime, Some Time 和 Sometimes英語單詞運用例句
例1:"He's been talking to just about everybody and wants to talk to you sometime." (他這段時間已經跟幾乎所有人談過話了,希望哪天能跟你談一談。)
例2:"Lynne was particularly disappointed because her sometime companion, George Archibald, was not paying much attention to her that evening." (林恩感到特別失望,因為她那個時候的同伴,也就是喬治阿奇博爾德,當晚並沒有太注意到她。)
例3:"You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others--something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it." (你必須給你的同伴一些時間。即使是一件小事,也要為別人做點什麼,比如沒有報酬,但卻只有你有這樣做的特權去做的事情。)
例4:"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying." (我很聰明,有時候我卻不明白自己說的話。)
Sometime, Some Time 和 Sometimes英語單詞運用說明
在這三個單詞中,很容易記住sometimes,意思是「有時」,以一個單詞的形式出現:「My wife and I sometimes play Scrabble.」。但另外兩個就更難些,用法也各不相同。
Some Time中的some不被強調:We'll need some time to consider this. 。如果是指未來一段不確定的時間,也用some time: She arrived some time after dinner.(在這裡有些人也會用sometime,但也沒有錯。)
當指「在未來某個不確定的時間點」時,就用sometime:We'll talk about this sometime next week. 但當sometime是形容詞時,意思就是「偶爾」或「以前」: his sometime colleague
簡單記住Sometime, Some Time 和 Sometimes英語單詞運用的方法
Some Time:中間隔了一個空,指「一段時間」。
Sometimes:時不時(偶爾)會這樣,就是會有幾個這樣的時間點會這樣,因此就有個s(複數形式)
Sometime:既然sometimes已經有偶爾的意思了,我們在這裡就不要去記sometime也有偶爾的意思,記住「未來不確定的時間點」和「以前」即可。
