some time 與sometime和sometimes的區別

今天來上點英文課好了。
some time 、sometime 和 sometimes 的區別在哪裡?下列的解釋和例句跟你說明白

It is easy to get these three words mixed up if you don't fully understand the
difference between them. Some time means a period of time, as in, "Paul has
been working here for quite some time." Sometime is an adverb that can
mean "any unspecified time in the future or past." For example: "I will get
around to it sometime". Sometimes is an adverb meaning "occasionally."
So, take care when you are using these three words.

如果你不完全了解這三個字之間的差別,很容易會把它們被弄混。Some time 是指一段時間,如:「保羅已經在這裡工作挺長一段時間了。」Sometime 是副詞,指「在未來或過去的任何一個不特定時間」,例如:「我會找時間去做那件事的。」Sometimes 是副詞,指「有時候」。所以用這三個字的時候要特別注意。

For some time I have been thinking about getting a dog.

我想養隻狗已經想一段時間了。

Maggie will get married sometime in the future.

瑪姬將來會結婚。

It was sometime last night that the bank was robbed.

昨晚某個時候銀行被搶了。

Sometimes I like to walk along the river by myself.
