other time
Hi teachers,
Can I say as follows:
a/Today I am too busy to do it.I will do it another time
b/Today I am too busy to do it.I will do it at another time
c/Today I am too busy to do it.I will do it other times
d/Today I am too busy to do it.I will do it at other times
d/ She was frantic at the slightest thing /at the least thing
e/She was frantically worried at the slightest thing /at the least thing
f/She was upset /puzzled at the slightest thing /at the least thing.
I would appreciate it very much if you could help correct these sentences in such a way the sound natural to a native speaker.
Thank you in advance

Thank you Grammar Geek,
But Do you mean "I will do it at another time /at other times " is not correct?
By the way , can"some other time" be used interchangeably with"another time"?:
Sorry, I can't do it today.I 'll do it some other time/another time?
Best wishes

Yes.
I will do it at noon. I will do it at... a time. But not "another time" -- unless you just changed your mind about what you wanted to say. I can't do it right now, but I'll do it at... another time.
"At other times" is fine when describing habitual action. Sometimes, I go days without turning on the TV. At other times, I watch from morning till night. It's not okay to refer to doing
