Hi! I am interested which of the following questions are correct. What time is it? What's the time? I've recently heard the expression "Have you got the time?" What does it mean? Thanks in advance!

What does it mean?

Depending on context:
1. Do you know what time it is and will you share this information with me?
2. Do you have any spare time to spend with me or to do what I want you to do?

why the verb is past? • Idiom "She drives me nuts!" • How long will you stay vs How long will you be staying • Adverb placement: He probably won't like a job. OR He won't probably like a job. • correlate to, or correlate with? • 'far' vs 'a long way' • Usage of prepositions: In vs On • What does 'not the least' mean? • I am crying at nights so that my father doesn’t see this • use of would • Diffrence beetween can and may • Close vs shut • that vs which (There are books that/which explain clearly the usage of tenses.)
