some ways
I sort of understand the singular, in some way, but not the plural in some wayS.
In some ways, I enjoyed this movie more than any of his features, and yet it's sad that he has drawn in his horns so much
In some ways, lunar dust resembles the silica dust on Earth that causes silicosis, a serious disease."
Can I interpret it as through some methods?
Thanks.

Hi N2G
'In some ways' basically means the same thing as 'in a way' (i.e. 'to a certain extent'). Using the plural 'ways' suggests that various individual aspects of something were considered.

I've been using those idioms this way:
In some ways = To some extent, partly, for some reasons, etc. In some ways, you can consider every human being as an animal.
In some way = One way or another, somehow. You could try to get the password without looking suspicious, in some way.
Just my way. I might be wrong.
