  We mainly introduce some weak versions of the $M_{1}$-spaces, and study some
properties about these spaces. The mainly results are that: (1) If $X$ is a
compact scattered space and $i(X)\leq 3$, then $X$ is an $s$-$m_{1}$-space; (2)
If $X$ is a strongly monotonically normal space, then $X$ is an
$s$-$m_{2}$-space; (3) If $X$ is a $\sigma$-$m_{3}$ space, then $t(X)\leq
c(X)$, which extends a result of P.M. Gartside in \cite{CP}. Moreover, some
questions are posed in the paper.
