sometime,sometimes,some time的区别和用法
区别一:含义不同
Sometime 作为副词,意思是“在某一时候、日后、昔时”,指不定的时间而言,既可指将来亦可指过去的不确定时间(any time in the future or in the past)。
e.g. I will tell you sometime or other.我将来会告诉你的。
e.g. He gave us a detailed report sometime ago.他曾给我们一个详细的报告。
Some time作为名词短语,是指一定的时限而言,表示相当长的一段时间(a long time);作副词短语时,意为“随便何时”。
e.g. It will take some time to tell you the wholestory.把全部经过讲给你听需要相当长的时间。
That idea has been creeping into our consciousness for some time.不知不觉间,那种想法在我们脑海里渐渐形成已经有一段时间了。
Sometimes的意思是“有时、不时”(at times;now and then)
e.g. The weather is cold and changeable.Now it rains,now it snows,sometimes it hails.气候冷而多变,时而下雨,时而下雪,有时还下冰雹。
e.g. We have letters from her sometimes.有时候,我们会收到她的信。
sometimes 意为“有时”:
He sometimes comes very late. 他有时来得很迟。
区别二:用法不同
Sometime亦可用作形容词。
The sales figures won't be released until sometime next month.下个月的某个时间才会公布销
售数据。
从例句可见,这里的sometime相当于onetime或former之意。
some time 作为副词词组,意为“某个时候”(= sometime);作为名词词组,意为“一段时间”(不能写成 sometime):
I will write again some time. 我回头再给你写信。
We lived in the country for some time. 我们在农村住过一段时间。
区别三:在句中应用的位置不同
Sometime亦可用作形容词,放在名词之前作定语。
e.g. He was a sometime university professor.他曾经是大学的教授。
sometime 意为“某个时候”,此时也可写成 some time (即分开写):
I will go home sometime [some time] next week. 下个星期的某个时候我要回家。
例句:1 Sometims I help my mother in the house.有时我在家帮母亲
2 Sometimes she goes to school by bike,and sometimes she goes on foot.有时她骑自行车去上学,有时步行去上学。
(2)some times是名词词组,意为“几次,几倍”
例句:1 I met her some times in the street last year去年我在街上遇到过她几次
2 The shop is some times larger than that one这个商店比那个商店大几倍
(3)sometime是副词,意为“某时”,可用于过去时或将来时态
例句:I saw him sometime last summer我去年夏天的某个时候见过他
(4)some time是名词词组,意为“一段时间”
例句:I stayed at my uncle's for some time last summer去年夏天我在我叔叔家住了一段时间
友情提示:为了更好区别和识记上面的词及词组,我们可以用口诀记忆
合写加s,莫忘译“有时”。分写加s,记住译“倍,次”。合写译“某时”,分写则是“一段时间”
希望采纳!!
some time与some times不要理解为词组。
some time 中的time是时间的意思。
some times中的times是次数的意思。
