Time is the rate of change between particle interactions.
Past is where everything was.
Now is where everything is positioned at the moment.
Future is where everything will be next.
Time is the transformation from a past state to the present state to a future state. For mass at extreme velocities time (the rate of change) slows down.

Time is what has been exsisting since the beginning. If I walk to the mall , the amount of *time* it takes for me to get there is measured in Seconds, Minutes, and Hours. A 1)second is measured at a moderately slow speed and is made of 100 milliseconds. A 2)minute is made of 60 seconds. A 3)hour is made of 60 minutes. A 4)day (from when you wake up to wake up the next morning) is made up of 24 hours. A 5)week is made of 7 days (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday). A 6) month depends on the amount of weeks. It is 4 weeks or usually 2-3 more days. A 7) year is made up of 12 months (varied by a day every 4 years [leap year]). A 8) decade is made up of 10 years, and lastly a 9) century is made up of 10 decades.

Time does not exist. Time is an abstract notion invented by man and exists only as long as there are living breathing well at least thinking beings in the universe to measure it.
You could ask the question :
"if there was no one left in the universe to measure time would it exist?"
The answer would be no.

Time is an illusion. It is not real, or permanent. It was formed simultaneously with all matter at the instant of the big bang explosion. Time is caused by the movement of one object in relation to another. There must be at least two objects in existence for the illusion of time to seem real. You one hand, for example, moves in relation to the other hand, we see them pass each other, we note this movement and call it time. All planets move in relation to each other. Before the big bang, there was but a single object. When it exploded and fragmented into condensed matter, and that matter, those objects, began to move in relation to each other--time was born. Remove all physical matter, and time is gone as well.

Guy E is close but time is not an illusion, intangible, yes. Time is the thing that is jammed in at the end of an event and the beginning of the the next event, it is NOW.

A man made idea. An equally spaced measurement that repeats itself forever.

Time is the perception that things persist.
Change is the primary manisfestation of time.

Time is how too long it took you to write those exclamation points and question marks.

Time is everything MINUS the time you are reading this sentence.
time = Everything (infinity) - Delta t;
Delta t = current time;
