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 īIt is high time we should go outī is grammatically correct. Take care! |

Iīve never heard "Itīs high time to go now" or "Itīs high time we should go out."+ "Itīs high time" is used for a general statement about a need or desire for a certain action, so it isnīt used with "now". Also, using "should" with it is redundant. So, thatīs my experience as a native speaker. Bruce |
