A continent is one of several major land masses on the earth. There is no standard definition for the number of continents but you'll commonly find that the numbers six or seven are used. By most standards, there are a maximum of seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Most students in the U.S. are taught that there are seven continents.
In Europe, many students are taught about six continents, where North and South America is combined to form a single America. Thus, these six continents are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
Many geographers and scientists now refer to six continents, where Europe and Asia are combined (since they're one solid landmass). Thus, these six continents are Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, North America, and South America.

on Earth?
Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Antrartica, and Australia.
These are the continents right now. 7 of them. But after a few million years, who know?
A billion years ago, there was only one continent, the PANGAEA. But they gradually divided into the continents that we have now.

1. North America
2. South America
3. Europe
4. Asia
5. Africa
6. Australia
7. Antarctica
Unless the sleep has horribly dulled my senses, uhh, 7.
Of course, if you're removing time from the equation, we can just go back to Pangea and say 1.
