It’s time后接從句的幾點(diǎn)用法說明

先看一道試題：

It’s time the child __________ to bed.

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

此題應(yīng)選C。關(guān)于It’s time＋that從句，注意以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 從句謂語通常用過去時(shí)態(tài)或should＋動詞原形：

It’s time we started. 我們該動身了。

It is time that you left here. 你該離開這兒了。

It’s time you studied hard. 你該努力學(xué)習(xí)了。

有時(shí)也用 should+動詞原形或用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)，有時(shí)甚至將 should 省略(即只用動詞原形，為非正式的美國口語)：

我們該走了。

正：It is time we left. (常見)

正：It is time we should leave. (可用)

正：It is time we were leaving. (可用)

正：It is time we leave. (少見，非正式美國口語)

2. 其他幾點(diǎn)注意處：(www.hz123456.com)

(1) 其中的 It is 有時(shí)根據(jù)情況也可改為 It was，其后的時(shí)態(tài)不受影響：

你該上床睡覺了。

正：It is time you went to bed. (指現(xiàn)在而言)

正：It was time you went to bed. (指過去而言)

(2) time 前可以用 high，about 等修飾。

It is high time you told her the truth. 你該把真相告訴她了。

It is about time that I wrote her a letter. 我該給她寫封信了。
