It’s time后接从句的几点用法说明

先看一道试题:

It’s time the child __________ to bed.

A. goes B. going C. went D. to go

此题应选C。关于It’s time+that从句,注意以下几点:

1. 从句谓语通常用过去时态或should+动词原形:

It’s time we started. 我们该动身了。

It is time that you left here. 你该离开这儿了。

It’s time you studied hard. 你该努力学习了。

有时也用 should+动词原形或用过去进行时,有时甚至将 should 省略(即只用动词原形,为非正式的美国口语):

我们该走了。

正:It is time we left. (常见)

正:It is time we should leave. (可用)

正:It is time we were leaving. (可用)

正:It is time we leave. (少见,非正式美国口语)

2. 其他几点注意处:

(1) 其中的 It is 有时根据情况也可改为 It was,其后的时态不受影响:

你该上床睡觉了。

正:It is time you went to bed. (指现在而言)

正:It was time you went to bed. (指过去而言)

(2) time 前可以用 high,about 等修饰。

It is high time you told her the truth. 你该把真相告诉她了。

It is about time that I wrote her a letter. 我该给她写封信了。
