text: my fahter often took us somewhere(why not ''to someplaces'')in the city on the weekend?   your father took you to some places in the city over the weekend if you went to more than one place.  if you drove to the city for the weekend, he took you somewhere or someplace.  somewhere:    1. at, in, or to a place not specified or known: found it somewhere in the woods.    2. to a place or state of further development or progress: finally getting somewhere.    3. approximately; roughly: somewhere about halfway through.  someplace : someplace' is used informally for "somewhere"
