The mix-up between ‘some time’ and ‘sometime’ often arises from their pronunciations and near-similar spellings, but they have different meanings. The mix-up can lead to confusion especially in written communication where the context might not be immediately clear.
‘Some time’ refers to a period or duration of time.
For instance:
Some time ago, you promised to get me a new car.
On the other hand, ‘sometime’ means an unspecified or indefinite point in time.
For instance:
Sometime when you are not busy, we must meet again.
