• It is time/It is high time: → It is time/It is high time থাকলে আর এর পর subject বসলে subject - এরপরের verb টি past form হয়।
→ It is time we (change) our bad habits. - এর সঠিক verb হবে changed. - কারণ, It is time এর পরে subject – we এসেছে এবং তার পরে 'change' verb হিসেবে এসেছে। - তাই, ঐ verb 'change' এর past form 'changed' হবে।
Correct Expression: It is time we changed our bad habits.
It is time ও It is high time এর পরে subject না এসে, কোন verb আসলে ঐ verb এর Infinitive form হবে। যেমন: It is high time to change our attitude.
Example Sentence: 1. It is high time you started taking your health seriously and began exercising regularly. 2. It is high time we addressed the environmental issues affecting our community.
