Hi you,

Willing is an adjective. When it come before a noun, it means ready or pleased to help someone without needing to be persuaded. In this question we must replace the adjective "willing" with the noun "will" to form the preposional phrase "of good will" and the noun phrase "the time of good will".

Hope this to help you.

Hi Lazar,

Willing means that you are ready and want to do something as in: In the circumstances I am willing to help you. Good will is an expression that means full of good wishes and intentions.
