    It's (high) time + past subjunctive expresses that something should be done and that it is already a bit late. The expression "It is (high/about) time + past verb test" is used to complain about or criticize something that should have been done by now. Using "about" or "high" makes the criticism even stronger. It is correct to say "It is time for [someone] to [do something]" as an alternative to using the past subjunctive form.

    it's (high) time + past subjunctive It's (high) time + past subjunctive expresses that something should be done and that it is already a bit late: It's time you went to bed. You'll have to get up early tomorrow. It's high time I bought a new pair of jeans. It's about time this road was completed. They've been working on it for months.

It's time for breakfast. It is high time the government took action."
