现将time的用法总结如下:
1. time 作可数名词,意为"次;回; 一段时间;时代(常用作复数);倍数"。
①Each time I called on him, he was busy with his work.
②This room is four times as big as that one.
2. time作不可数名词,意为"时间"。
What time is it by your watch?
3. time作动词用。
①意为"安排……的时间"。如:
He timed his journey so that he arrived before dark.
②作"记录……时间;计算时间"解。如:
We timed our journey. It took us two hours.
③time还可解释为"使合拍子;安排……的速度"。如:
He tried to time his steps to the music.
4. time与this, next, that, last, another等连用构成词组时,其前常不用介词。
Don't be late for class next time.
Another time he was seen using a check for $1,500 as a bookmark.
注意this time与that time的区别:
this time是"这次",含有"跟前次不同"的意味;that time是"那次"之意。试比较:
This time the great man began with the second question.
That time her husband was absent from his own laboratory work.
5.用英语表示"第……次"时,要用"the+序数词+time";表示"又一次;再一次"时要用"a+序数词+time"。
Two students meet for the first time at the beginning of the term.
"Please read the text a second time,"said the teacher.
注意:用英语说"一次"是once,不是one time或a time;"两次"是twice,通常不说two times;"一两次"是once or twice,亦可说a time or two,但不常用;"两三次"可以说two or three times。
6. in time与on time的区别
in time有"及时;迟早"的意思,意指正赶上时候或恰在需要的时候,或解释为"终有一天;最后";on time是"准时;按时"之意。如:
We were just in time for(或to catch) the bus.
The train pulled in on time.
7.在"It/This is the+序数词+time+that从句"结构中,that从句常用现在完成时。
This is the second time that I have seen the English film.
8. some time, sometime, sometimes与some times的区别
(1)some time表示"一段时间"。如:

(2)sometime意思是"某个时候"。如:

He'll come sometime tomorrow.
(3)sometimes的意思是"有时"。如:

(4)some times意为"几次;几倍"。如:
