Itishightimethat后面到底跟什么虚拟语气啊?是过去式还是加should?有和Itistimethat有什么区别?老师说只能跟过去式,也有的人说既能跟过去式和should但是不能省略should.

Question

It is high time that 后面到底跟什么虚拟语气啊?是过去式还是加should?有和It is time that有什么区别?
老师说只能跟过去式,也有的人说既能跟过去式和should但是不能省略should.

Answer 1

It is high time that you(should) make/made a decision.
早就到了你做出决定的时候了.
It is high time that we began the meeting.
正是我们开会的时间了.
确实都可以,should也比较少省略,但也不是不能省略的.
和it is time that只有语气上的差异,意思是一样的.
还有It is time for sb. to do sth也是一样的意思.
It is (high) time for us to begin the meeting.
