Is sometimes one word?

Use “sometime” as an adverb that means “at some point in time” (e.g., “I’ll get to that sometime”).

Use “sometimes” as an adverb that means “occasionally” or “from time to time” (e.g., “Sometimes I watch TV, but I usually prefer reading”).

Keep in mind that “sometime” (with no “s”) can also be used as an adjective meaning “former,” but this usage is less common (e.g., “He was a sometime actor before becoming a producer”.
