some time/sometime

Hi,

    May I ask the difference between "some time" and "sometime" ? I think we have the word "someday". Do we have "some day"? Thank you very much.

     My second question is about "taciturn"? As a native speaker, what do you feel if I say "He is quite taciturn." in stead of "He is very quiet."

     Thank you very much.

Hi! "Taciturn" is a great word, but it is definitely less common than "quiet." I think of a taciturn person as being reserved and quiet by nature. 

"Sometime" and "someday" both refer to a vague time or day in the future. For instance, "I hope to have a child someday." "Some time" and "some day" are more specific. For instance, "Can you find some time to study with me this week?"

Hope that helps!

Amy

Thank you very much.
