Sometimes and sometime

 

Sometimes and sometime

 

What is the difference between ‘sometimes’ and ‘sometime’?

 

How many times do I have to tell you?

 

Tell me one more time. Ok?

 

The word sometimes means ‘occasionally’. For example, I cut classes sometimes.

 

You do?

 

Sometimes I have to put up with people like you.

 

That’s true. Can I say, I get a hundred in my tests sometimes?

 

Have you ever got a hundred in a test?

 

No, but I hope to get a hundred this year.

 

Well, in that case, you have to say, I hope to get a hundred in my test sometime. The word sometime means ‘at a time in the future or the past that is unknown or that has not yet been fixed.’  For example, can you come and see me sometime next week?

 

Of course, I can!

 

No need to come. That was an example. All vacations have to come to an end sometime.

 

Yes, that’s the sad part. I’d like to visit the Taj Mahal sometime.

 

That’s a good example.

 

Can I come and see you sometime tomorrow?

 

No, you know, Sometimes I wish I had never met you.

 

Tough luck! You have met me and there’s no way you are going to get rid of me.
