Se confunde a menudo con
Learners of languages like French or Spanish often confuse these because their language uses one word for both; in English, 'time' is for clocks and 'weather' is for rain/sun.
'Time' usually means duration, while 'times' often refers to multiplication or specific instances.
Notas de uso
Use 'time' as an uncountable noun when talking about duration in general. Use it as a countable noun when referring to specific occasions or repetitions (e.g., 'I saw that movie three times').
Errores comunes
Avoid saying 'I have no time' as much as 'I don't have time' in modern conversation. Do not confuse 'on time' (punctual) with 'in time' (before it's too late).
Truco para recordar

Origen de la palabra
From the Old English 'tīma', which is related to words for 'tide' and 'division of time'.
Patrones gramaticales
