Sometimes x Some Times: Qual a diferença?

Alessandro,

Eu usaria "sometimes" nos contextos a seguir e não usaria "some times":

Sometimes I go home on foot.
Do you talk to her? Sometimes. Not very often.
I like to be alone sometimes.


Eu usaria "some times" nos contextos a seguir e não usaria "sometimes":

You want to meet up? Well, suggest some times and I'll look in my diary.
I saw her some times after lunch.

Hi, Alessandro.

Thanks for this opportunity to reply you. I really enjoy English Experts.

Regarding to the proposed issue, I'd like to split it in 3 points: 1) sometime 2) some times 3)sometime

1) sometime(adverb)
It's related to "an indefinite or unstated time in the future, at some unspecified time"
For example:
"Let's get lunch and talk about our funny days at the college sometime.

2) some time(two words) noun
It states "a period of time, quite a while"
For example:
"Peter must consider his need to give some time studying for his new project."

3) sometimes(adverb)
It means "occasionally, now and then"
For example:
"Sometimes I use to speak up with my close friends."

I hope it may be interesting for the post.

All the best,

Olá Alessandro:

Analisemos seguinte erro típico: "Let´s have dinner together sometimes next month".

a) "Some time" significa algo como "one day". Usa-se pra referir a uma ocasião indefinida, normalmente no futuro. Não há ideia ou noção de repetição. Portanto a frase correta acima deveria ser "some time".

b) "sometimes" é um advérbio de frequência. Sugere-se repetição (não muito frequente), a qualquer tempo (passado, presente ou futuro). Ex: We sometimes went boating when I lived in London. I´ll go there and see you sometimes whenever possible.

Abraço
