what the difference between some time and sometimes

[Alan]

Hi Jian,

Sometimes means occasionally/not very often. Some time means at a time in the future which is not definite. Some time I shall go on a world cruise but I'm not sure when.

Dear friends,

Some time: at a particular but unspecified time:
-I saw my daughter who lives in america some time last summer.
-phone me some time next week.
sometimes: not all time only occasionally:
-She sometimes writes to me, other times she phones me.
-Sometimes I visit my aunt.
-Sometimes we went abroad, I regret not to go more often.

Hello Mr Micawber !

Here the question is --sometimes or some time

Here some explanation is explicit though I am a little bit of confusing position .

Some time I will go on a world cruise---- ; here , is it using as adverb or conjunction ?

sometimes- attached words ,in parts of speech, please show me some examples ,indicating the position of parts of speech , both of the words-please.
Thank you for your anticipation
Quazi
