Does time countable or uncountable

[Abumashal]

Hi everybody, why (time) is uncountable and I find it some times with s that means uncountable!
Can you explain the using of (time), please?

[Torsten]

Hi there. The noun time can be uncountable as well as countable. Please take a look at these examples:

Uncountable:
How much time do you spend watching TV every day?
I'm afraid I have to go because I don't have much time.

Countable:
How many times have you been abroad?
Every time I try to dial your telephone number your line is busy.
