It is high time + what?
 
So far it is known-- It is time to go now. It is high time to go now. It is high time we went out. --- These sentences are correct. But, is the following sentence correct? It is high time we should go out.??? --- Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
 
to my knowledge, the sentence �It is high time we should go out� is grammatically correct.
 
Take care!

I�ve never heard "It�s high time to go now" or "It�s high time we should go out."+
 
"It�s high time" is used for a general statement about a need or desire for a certain action, so it isn�t used with "now". Also, using "should" with it is redundant.
 
So, that�s my experience as a native speaker.
