adv. (副词)

sometimes, sometime, some time

• 这三者的区别是：sometimes的意思是“有时,间或”,指某事在某些场合会发生,并非在一切场合都发生; sometime指过去或将来的某一未知时间或某一尚未确定的时间点; some time则是名词短语,指时间段,意思是“一些时间”“某个时段”。例如:
• People held in high repute are sometimes quite ignorant.名气大的人有时却非常无知。
• Let's have dinner together sometime next week.下周找个时间我们一起吃顿饭吧。
• I'll be away for some time.我要离开一段时间。

sometimes, always, often, usually

• 这四个词意思相近。其区别是：
• 1.表示的频率不同。例如：

• He comes to school on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday.我们可说：He often goes to school.often表示的频率是60%。
• He comes to school on Monday and Thursday.我们可以说He sometimes goes to school.sometimes表示的频率是20%。
• 2.always的反义词是never; often的反义词是seldom; usually的反义词是occasionally, sometimes的反义词是always。
