    Uploaded by

    Sylvia Rodríguez
    It's (high) time + past subjunctive expresses that something should be done and that it is already a bit late. The expression "It is (high/about) time + past verb test" is used to complain about or criticize something that should have been done by now. Using "about" or "high" makes the criticism even stronger. It is correct to say "It is time for [someone] to [do something]" as an alternative to using the past subjunctive form.
