Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Temps is time in the temporal sense. Fois is times as in "how many times...".

Tu as le temps pour me donner un coup de main? -- Do you have time to lend me a hand?
C'est la dernière fois que je te donne un coup de main. -- That's the last time I am helping you.
