I 'm not used to saying a past tense after "It's time + subject". Cuz it doesn't mean the past
ReplyDelete, it sounds weired for me. So I think I'd better practice this expression when talking to my friends. Thanks for your lesson!
It is a little odd, but we also use the past for wish, and some conditional sentences when we want to talk about the present and future.
