Traduction et définition

It's high time (you met my mother!): Il est grand temps (que tu rencontres ma mère !) idiom
In a construction introduced by the phrase "it's time" or "it's high time", we use a verb in the subjunctive past tense to complete the construction. The subjunctive past tense is identical to the simple past for all verbs except "to be".
