Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "someday" with "some day". "Someday" (one word) is almost always about an unspecified time in the future. "Some day" (two words) usually means "a particular day" and can be past or future, often with a number or description (e.g., "some day last year"). Learners also sometimes use "someday" for past events, which is incorrect; it is used only for the future.
