Can the word "hinner" be used at all here?
Yes, prästen hann inte would work too.
How would one use "hinner" in this case, then?
What do you mean? It would be as I said, Prästen hann inte. hann is past time of hinner.
Oh, okay. I didn't realize that. Thanks! :)
Kan ni berätta för mig varför "ingen tid" är inte riktig?
ingen means ”no” whereas inte means ”not”.
I write "tiden" ... and get it wrong ... every single time
