⑶ It's time + that clause 時,that可省略,time可由high/about修飾。
從句中的謂語動詞有兩種形式:可用動詞的過去式(be用were);或者用should + 動詞原形(should不能省略)。

《父與子》(Father and Son):是英國民謠搖滾歌手Cat Stevens(凱特·斯蒂文斯)的經典溫情之作。
歌曲意在表達年輕一輩跟老一輩因觀念差距所衍生的代溝以及描繪父子之間難以割捨的親情。在新西蘭電信廣告Keep in touch用的就是這首歌曲,講述了父親和孩子相處的整個過程,從兒時的蹣跚學步,成年後把酒言歡,到最後只剩兒子一人的形單影隻,出門在外,記得和家人保持聯絡。
