How to write some in cursive
- Start with the s (undercurve, curve down, undercurve): an undercurve to the midline, a curve back down that closes on the upstroke, then an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.

Some questions
How many strokes does it take to write some in cursive?
1 stroke: one continuous stroke for the letters. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in some are joined at the midline?
The o. This letter ends with a short bridge stroke at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top rather than from the baseline. That is what makes "some" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is some capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "some" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Some is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
What is the hardest letter in some?
The s. Cursive s is the most searched letter for a reason: it looks nothing like print. Write it as an upstroke with a little belly, not as a snake.
