- ahead of time: earlier / before the announced time: 'Be there ahead of time if you want to get a good seat.' 'We finished 15 minutes ahead of time.' - We me at the appointed time (= at the announced or assigned time). - take up time = to use up time 'I'm sorry to take up your time, but I really need your help.' - up = finished 'When the time was up, we all had to stop writing and hand in our papers. Ç Time's up, everybody.' - take your time: if you do not have to hurry, you can take your time 'Take your time, there's no rush.' - spend time: to use your time for a particular purpose: 'I spend my time reading books.' - pass the time: to find things to do so that the time passes quickly 'He's a bit bored in hospital - can you take something for him to pass the time?' - at times: sometimes 'I feel quite sad at times.'

You have already gotten some great answers. I thought of a couple more. "Time and again" - This means "repeatedly." I have asked you 'time and again' to clean your room! "Time flies when you're having fun." - This is a common idiom that means time seems to pass more quickly when you are having fun. Person A: "It's time to leave already?!" Person B: "Well, time flies when you're having fun."

1. About time. Can be a synonym for "finally". Usually used when someone finally does something or needs to do something that needed to be done a long time ago. Example: "It's about time you went to the doctor, you have been coughing for a week!" or Person A: "I finally finished my homework after two days" Person B: "it's about time!" 2. Me Time This is just when you need to be alone or spend some time relaxing. example: Person 1: "Hi, I need you to run some errands for me again.." Person 2: "Sorry, I need some 'me time'. You have been asking me to do too many things for you"
