Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Explanation:
The phrase "It is time" is commonly followed by the past tense to indicate that something should have happened or needs to happen at that moment, even though it's referring to the present or future.
"It is time we went" uses the past tense (went) to express that it is the appropriate moment to take action.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. should be going – This is not the correct structure after "It is time."
B. ought to go – This is a correct phrase, but it doesn't fit the typical "It is time" structure.
C. are going – Present continuous is not appropriate here.
E. go – The base form of the verb doesn't fit the structure after "It is time."
