Everyday is a stand-alone adjective. It means common, or regular.
Example: My Toyota is my everyday car, but sometimes I drive the Corvette.
Every day is two separate words. They describe the frequency of the action specifically. It literally means at least once per day.
Example: I drink coffee every day.
---
Sometimes - describes frequency of an action (means occasionally, and it implies a frequency less than always and more than never).
Example: Sometimes I watch football on TV; sometimes I don't.
*******************************************************************************
Sometime - describes a point in time in the future
Example: I will come to your house sometime tommorow
*********************************************************************************
Some time: describes an undefined length of time, usually a long time. It is equivalent to saying "some amount of time", but the "amount of" part is implied.
Example: I have dreamed of winning the lottery for some time.
****************************************************************************************
Some times . . . not 100% sure how to describe it. "Some" seems to be an adjective describing the "times" (days, weeks, months, etc). It usually implies unusual or crazy times . "Some crazy times"
Example: These are some times we have been having lately. It has rained for 2 weeks straight.

The above are the defination I quoted from Yahoo. Do you agree? Can I know the real meaning and differences between the above?
Thank you.
