I’ve heard the beaches and sea are beautiful. I’d love to go there sometime.
For today’s English lesson, let’s have a look at some time, sometime and sometimes. These are three similar sounding words, but are used differently.

- I haven’t seen Jack in some time. How’s he doing?
- It will be some time before the power can be restored after the storm.
- I need some time to find the answer to your question. I’ll get back to you tomorrow.
- I would love to go scuba diving sometime.

Michael, would you like me to create a quiz for you for these three words?
I hadn’t thought about making a quiz for the podcasts. Well, If you’d like to, that would be great if it’s not too much trouble. Email it to me and I’ll set it up here 🙂 Thanks!
It would also be good to do for my own students so I’d be ‘killing two birds with one stone.’ LOL But I’m not sure if I have your email address.
cool! Thanks it’s learn at myhappyenglish dot com, or you can use the contact form here. Thanks so much for doing that!
Just sent you an email.
Excellent episode, Michael.
One question: What´s the difference between “sometime” and “anytime”? Can we use them at the same way? I´m not sure.
The same question for “some time” and “any time”.
Thanks, have a great Monday 😉
