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.

Hello Alan,

You may find these links helpful for the use of the word "sometime":
http://web.uvic.ca/wguide/Pages/UsSometime.html
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/sometime?view=uk
http://www.englishforums.com/English/SomeTimeSometime/wdqwx/post.htm#687688
By the way, "sometime" can be used to refer to the future or the past. It is not restricted to future time.
For example: "I think that happened sometime in 1947."
For an additional example of "sometime", see the quote below.

Hi,

I find your 'advice' ironic!
