'''Time''' is a semantic category that indicates when a given event occurs. It may be expressed by attributes or by relations.

== Time attributes ==
The values for the attribute time are the following:
{{#tree:id=time|openlevels=0|root=Time|
*absolute time
**'''@past''': at a time before the moment of utterance
**'''@present''': at the moment of utterance
**'''@future''': at a time after the moment of utterance
**'''@recent''': close to the moment of utterance
**'''@remote''': remote from the moment of utterance
*relative time
**'''@anterior''': before some other time other than the time of utterance
**'''@posterior''': after some other time other than the time of utterance
}}

;The UNL representation indicates the time rather than the grammatical tense of a form.
:There is no simple one-to-one relationship between tense forms and time. In English, for instance, the present (grammatical tense) may be used to represent the future (time)<br>
: I’m going home tomorrow = go.@future.@recent (and not go.@present)
;@present is used to indicate an action at the present, and not habits, routines and statements:
:I'm in Frankfurt. = @present
:I always come to school by cycle. = no tense information
:The sun sets in the Occident. = no tense information
;Tense values may be combined.
:I'm going home tomorrow = go.@future.@recent
:I had been there = @past.@anterior
