	Casi  +  68348 Tue, 18 Jan 05 09:33 AM Given the linking structure, I'd say "7 o'clock" renames the subject, which would make that phrase a noun in form: The time is 7 o'clock. 7 o'clock is the time. But. . . "7 o'clock" also answers the question, When?, which would make it an adverb in function: When it is? => It's 7 o'clock.
