    Kan ni berätta för mig varför "ingen tid" är inte riktig?

      ingen means ”no” whereas inte means ”not”.

        Can the word "hinner" be used at all here?

          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.
