英语纠错
Obviously,it is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.我怎么感觉这个句子中took的时态有点别扭呢?这个是虚拟语气么?

Answer 1

1.楼主正解,这是虚拟语气.
固定句型：It's (high/about) + (that)从句.
该that从句要求使用虚拟语气,即从句必须使用一般过去时或其谓语动词采用“should + 动词原形”结构.
另：( )表示可以省略不用；/ 表示可以任意选用其一.
2.再如：
It's high time (that) we went to school.
= It's (about) time (that) we went to school.
= It's (high/about) time (that) we should go to school.
= It's time for us to go to school.
