It is time that 虚拟语气的类型

It is time that 后面的虚拟语气通常是用过去式。如:
It’s time you washed those trousers. 你该洗洗那条裤子了。
It is time that you bought a new coat. 你该买一件新外衣了。
It’s time that you started acting your age, Jeff. 杰夫,你该懂事了。
请问除了用过去式之外,还有其他的类型吗?有本书上也可以用should或过去进行时,有这样的例句吗?谢谢!

1. It's time that 这个句式中的 that 常可省略。如:

It's time I fed the dog. 我该喂狗了。《朗文当代英语词典》

It's time we were going. 我们现在该走了。《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》

2. 费致德《现代英语惯用法词典》(P.503)有如下介绍:

It is time 后面用虚拟语气过去式。口语中常用。

It is (high) time you went (were going; should / had better / had rather go).该你走的时候了。

It is high time that you should go. 是正式文体。were 有时也用 was
