In some ways

0 Hi,02br
00I'd like to know if I should say "in some way" or "in some ways"...02br
02br
00I think this is the best forum for learning English, in some 01b00way/ways.02b02br
00You are right, in some 01b00way/ways.02b02br
00I managed to learn English in the end, in some 01b00way/ways.02b02br
00I'll try to help you, in some 01b00way/ways.02b02br
02br
00I think in the first two it should be 01b00ways02b00, in the second two it should be 01b00way02b00. Any comments? Thanks. 050010id1

0When you use "in some ways" it means that you can make statements to support this statement, and some that may to go against it.02br

00The way you have used "in some way" is better restated as "somehow." 01i00I'll figure it out somehow. I'll find a way to help you somehow02i00. Another idiomatic usage is "one way or another." 01i00One

0 I see, thanks.02br
00So, "in some ways" means something like "to some extent", as my dictionary says, but what about "in some way"? Isn't it a good alternative to "one way or another"?02br
00Thanks. 050010id1

0Not really. "Some how, some way" - maybe (also very idiomatic).0-
