Hola Goo
"Tiempo" is a noun meaning "time" and also "weather" but to express how many times one does something or something happens, as explained in the lesson, we use vez/veces.
Here are some sentences using the word "tiempo":
¿Qué tiempo hace hoy en tu ciudad?
What's the weather like in your city today?
Estás tardando mucho tiempo en el baño.
You're taking too long [a lot of time] in the bathroom.
