- It’s high time for the voters to vote out the corrupt/corrupted government.
- It’s high time the voters voted out the corrupt/corrupted government.
Are both sentences OK?
Should I use past subjunctive after ‘It’s high time’?
Please comment.
Thanks.
These are correct:
-
It’s high time for the voters to vote out the corrupt government.
-
It’s high time the voters voted out the corrupt government.
You should use either
• It’s time for someone to do something. OR
• It’s (high/about) someone did/was doing something.
Thanks.
On a style point, I would use ‘the public’ instead of ‘the voters’ there, simply to avoid the repetition.
- It’s high time for the public to vote out the corrupt government.
- It’s high time the public voted out the corrupt government.
