Time or time is what we measure with minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years--
Hurry up! We are wasting time!
Do you know what time it is?
Thyme or thyme ( rhymes with time ) means the culinary herb--
"Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme..."
Add 1/2 of a teaspoon of crushed thyme to the stew.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"I don't have time to go to the store for thyme. You'll have to use something else."
Note--"timeless" describes something that can be appreciated, no matter how many decades or centuries have passed--
Nearly everyone agrees that it is a timeless work of art.
Note #2--"out of time" means we have no more time left--to play a game, or to work on something--
We can't make this recipe because we're out of time.
Not to be confused with "out of thyme", which would mean we don't have any thyme to put in the dish we are cooking--
We can't make this recipe because we're out of thyme.
Note # 3--"time out" is what they do in baseball, or to naughty children--
The game was interrupted for a time out.
If you won't behave we'll have to put you on time out.
