  • In your composition book, in your grammar section, please 
    • 1. Summarize the note below from grammarist.com.
    • 2. Compose two example sentences for someday and some day (four total). 
  • Someday vs. some day

    The one-word adverb someday works when describing an indefinite future time (e.g., “I’d like to see him again someday”). Some day is two words when it refers to a single day, even if that day is unknown or not specified (e.g., “I have an appointment some day next month”).
    The distinction is useful, but despite its usefulness and in spite of what usage authorities say, many writers use someday and some day more or less interchangeably.

    Examples

    Someday
