it s time

Ответ от Елена Хлопенко[гуру]
Можно сказать
it's time (кому-либо) to do что-либо:
- It's time to go home.
- It's time for us to go home.
Вот другая конструкция.
It's time someone did something:
- It's nearly midnight. It's time we went home.
В конструкции It's time someone ...используется прошедшее время (went), хотя имеется в виду настоящее или будущее, но не прошедшее время:
- Why are you still in bed? It's time you got up. (но не `time you get up')
Мы применяем конструкцию
It's time someone did something особенно в тех случаях, когда жалуемся на кого-либо или порицаем кого-либо, или когда мы думаем, что кому-то уже следовало сделать что-то:
- It's time the children were in bed. It's long after their bedtime.
- You've been wearing the same clothes for ages. Isn't it time you bought some new ones?
- I think it's time the government did something about pollution.
Мы также говорим `It's high time someone did something.'
`It's about time.'
Таким образом мы УСИЛИВАЕМ ВЫРАЖЕНИЕ СВОЕГО НЕДОВОЛЬСТВА или порицания:
- You're very selfish. It's high time you realised that you're not the most important person in the world.
- It's about time Jack did some work for his examinations.
