Mr. Tom  +  374891 Mon, 04 Jun 07 02:42 PM Hi Could you please tell me which one is correct? Ms. Google supports both. "For quite some time now" and  "For quite sometime now" Mr. Tom

	Best answer by Cool Breeze  +  374977 Mon, 04 Jun 07 05:50 PM Mr. Tom “ "For quite some time now" ” Hi Tom The above version is correct. Sometime is the right word in the following sentence: He'll come sometime next month. But: Give me some time, please! (= a little time) Cheers CB Cool Breeze Sentences

	nona the brit  +  374894 Mon, 04 Jun 07 02:45 PM Some time should be two words. (There is a single word 'sometimes' and I guess that people get confused about which one to use). nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	Mr. Tom  +  375232 Tue, 05 Jun 07 07:36 AM Many thanks to both of you. Could you please check the hits from Ms. Google also? I need some light on that. Mr. Tom

Hi Spectacled-Girl, The adverb "sometime" in that context means a time in next month which we might not know.

	Yankee  +  375309 Tue, 05 Jun 07 01:30 PM Hi Tom Ms Google has many more hits for the correct version ("for quite some time now").  To my way of thinking, the relatively large number of hits for the incorrect version ("for quite sometime now") simply verifies what Nona said -- people tend to get confused about whether it should be one word or two.
