| Phrase | time |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "times" means a period in history: "There were times in history when people thought the earth was flat, not round." The phrase "for the time being" means temporarily, or for only a short period of time: "This job is okay for the time being, but eventually I want to be a decision-maker within the organization." The phrase "with time to spare" means earlier or sooner than expected: "We ran all the way and arrived at the theater with time to spare." The phrase "it's about time" emphasizes that someone thought something should have happened earlier than it did: "Did you finally finish that report? It's about time!" Finally, the phrase "in no time at all" means very quickly: "Gerald made a delicious three-course meal in no time at all." |
