Why "some where" is not quite right: a grammar guide
Anwar Kareem 29/09/2024, 20:08English.me team member
What kind of error is it?
Spacing and compound word error
Why do people make this mistake?
People may mistakenly think "somewhere" is two separate words because "some" and "where" are both valid words on their own. Additionally, English has many phrases starting with "some" that are two words, such as "some time" or "some place."
What is correct?
The correct form is "somewhere" as it is a compound word meaning "in some place or location."
Examples of correct usage
- I left my keys somewhere.
- She wants to travel somewhere new.
- The treasure is hidden somewhere in these mountains.
