Someone means a person who is not otherwise identified or known. I might say: "Someone took my money." Which means my money is gone, but i don't know who took it. The use of the words "some one" can only be known in context. I might say "some one of them was guilty," which would mean that i know that a group of people contains a guilty person, but i don't know which one it is.

If you have read a sentence which confuses you, come back here and post the sentence, then you can get the help you need. We cannot possibly tell you what words mean without the context in which you have read them.
