sft MWhat's the difference between "something" and "some thing"?

Something is an indefinite pronoun:
Something happens every day.
He knows something.

Some thing is just two words put together in the same way as some man, some book or some cat.

sft MIs "somethings" correct ?

No.

sft MAgain when one should use "sometime" and "sometimes" ?

Sometime refers to one incident only and is often followed by another expression of time:
I'll call you sometime next week.
(I'll call you only once.)

Sometimes comes from some times and as the s suggests, it refers to multiple times:
Sometimes I like him, sometimes I don't.
Learning English can be difficult sometimes.
