Hey plunk its difficult to answer your question because time is to fundamental to be defined. It is one of the few fundamental quantities (like length, mass or charge etc) which cannot be defined.

Here r some defs of it!
an instance or single occasion for some event; "this time he succeeded"; "he called four times"; "he could do ten at a clip"
an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities); "he waited a long time"; "the time of year for planting"; "he was a great actor is his time"
a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something; "take time to smell the roses"; "I didn't have time to finish"; "it took more than half my time"
a suitable moment; "it is time to go"
the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past
clock time: the time as given by a clock; "do you know what time it is?"; "the time is 10 o'clock"
clock: measure the time or duration of an event or action or the person who performs an action in a certain period of time; "he clocked the runners"
fourth dimension: the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
assign a time for an activity or event; "The candidate carefully timed his appearance at the disaster scene"
a person's experience on a particular occasion; "he had a time holding back the tears"; "they had a good time together"
set the speed, duration, or execution of; "we time the process to manufacture our cars very precisely"
meter: rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration
regulate or set the time of; "time the clock"
prison term: the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned; "he served a prison term of 15 months"; "his sentence was 5 to 10 years"; "he is doing time in the county jail"
adjust so that a force is applied and an action occurs at the desired time; "The good player times his swing so as to hit the ball squarely"

Time is a basic component of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects. Time has been a major subject of religion, philosophy, and science, but defining time in a non-controversial manner applicable to all fields of study has consistently eluded the greatest scholars.
In physics and other sciences, time is considered one of the few fundamental quantities.[2] Time is used to define other quantites ? such as velocity ? and defining time in terms of such quantities would result in circularity of definition.[3] An operational definition of time, wherein one says that observing a certain number of repetitions of one or another standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, has a high utility value in the conduct of both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. The operational definition leaves aside the question whether there is something called time, apart from the counting activity just mentioned, that flows and that can be measured. Investigations of a single continuum called space-time brings the nature of time into association with related questions into the nature of space, questions that have their roots in the works of early students of natural philosophy.
Among philosophers, there are two distinct viewpoints on time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence. Sir Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time.[4][5] The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz[6] and Immanuel Kant,[7][8] holds that time is not itself some thing and therefore is not to be measured.
Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart. Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined as a certain number of hyperfine transitions in caesium atoms (see below). Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human lifespans.

time is measure with respect to which we define change in position of object.
