What's the difference in usage for 'there's a time' vs. 'there's time' vs. 'there's the time'? [closed]

What's the difference in usage for 'there's a time' vs. 'there's time' vs. 'there's the time'? Is the last one even correct?

Similarly, what's the difference between 'it was a time' vs. 'it was the time' vs. 'it was time'?

I suspect the last one is only used in fixed expressions like 'it's high time' etc. but I'm not sure of anything anymore.


Solution 1:

There's a time and a place for everything.

There's time to get a cup of coffee before we have to leave.

(I can't think of a context for there's the time.)

It was a time of great hardship.

It was the time of year when...

It was time to say goodbye.
