可以省略“It is time + 从句”表⽰的是说话⼈的个⼈愿望,意思是“本来到了做某事的时间,但是却与事实相反”,因此从句要⽤虚拟语⽓。
对现在虚拟⽤从句的谓语动词过去时,对过去的虚拟⽤过去完成时,对将来虚拟⽤“should+原形【should 可以省略】”。如:It is time (that) you got up. 你早该起床了。(事实上还没起来)It was time (that) he had done his homework yesterday. 他本该昨天就要完成作业。(事实上没有写完). It is time the Government backed up its advert campaigns with tougher measures.是政府采取更严厉的措施来兑现其宣传承诺的时候了It's + the/序数词+ time +to do sth.表⽰某⼈第⼏次做某事.例:It is my first time to write letter in English.这是我第⼀次⽤英语写信.It's + the+序数词+ time+ that clause.也表⽰某⼈第⼏次做某事.例:It is my first time that I've even written letters.这是我第⼀次⽤写信
