The command "time" doesn't accept any option arguments

I tried:
$time --help
bash: --help: command not found

real 0m0.052s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s
$time -f "%E real,%U user,%S sys" ls -Fs #An example from `man time`
bash: -f: command not found

real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s

Its behavior is completely different from the manual.
