I would say it could be something other than a noun if it's used like, "Get here in a timely manner."

Answer 2

Time is a noun, (an abstract noun) because it's a thing. If it were an adjective you could describe someone or something as being 'time' in the same way as you could say 'tall' or 'clever'

Answer 3

Just the word time is a noun, from my learning (but maybe I am stupid)...I don't know how to explain well the English grammar but let me try:
Adjective is used to modifies a noun or other substantive.
Every time you are describing something or someone, you are let's say... "adjectiving" that person or thing.
This is the best I can tell you right now.

Answer 4

time is a noun... it's a thing... it's an abstract idea, but it's still a thing... an adjective is descriptive. what does "time" describe? nothing, because it's not an adjective. timely, timeless, etc would be adjectives.
