some time , over time
I want to express after we keep on practising typing everyday, one day in the future, we can manage well. Shall I say:
If we can take some time to practise typing everyday, over time, you can manage well.

2) What are the alternatives for over time.

Re: some time , over time
Wrong: everyday [1 word]
Correct: every day [2 words]
Wrong: practise
Correct: practice
Your typing speed will improve gradually if you practice even a little every day.

I have heard a native English speaker saying something like aboved with the phrase sort of 'over time' or '??? time' in place of gradually, can you clarify as I want to learn more besides using 'gradually'?

Your sentence is almost correct. You have to use the same pronoun in both clauses. Our practising won't help your typing.
(Practise - verb; practice - noun; in British usage).
You can also say:
With time and practice your typing will improve.
Over time, your typing will improve if you practice regularly.

Raymott,

How does my sentence sound to you?
