My father has somes nervous habits.
My father has some nervous habits.
Some is never plural. It has a homonym that can be used in a plural form, but never this "some".
For instance, folding a strip of paper into the shape of an acordion
Here is how I would say it...
For instance, he folds a strip of paper into the shape of an accordion.
I added in he folds, as you requested. "Folding" is not correct here. We need the present tense, not a gerund. So, our subject is "father". We don't have to say "father" again as it has already been established, so we insert our masculine singular subject pronoun, which is he. Then I change "folding" to the proper form of the verb "fold". Since our subject "he" is masculine and singular, our verb has to be in the third-person singular form as well, which is folds. Also, I changed the spelling of "acordion" to "accordion", which is correct.
