Hello again,
I am stuck in the following statement..

Is it :

Give me a day time. No.
OR
Give me a day's time. Yes. Possessive form. Give me the time of a (one) day (for example, to complete a task, respond etc.).

With an explanation.

Thank You.

If I wanted to say that I needed one (more) day in order to complete a task, I would just say "Give me a day" or "Give me one day".
 
Thank you all for your replies.
