@Kuldeep.

You are correct. In this discussion forum no need to use should 2nd for of verb is followed by the "it is time".

@Kuldeep is correct. It is time, It is high time, it is opportune time etc should be followed by a second form of the verb.

Example: "It is time you went home".

As per my knowledge, It is time we accepted.

Why there is no "the" before 'time'. As here is it talking about a specific time?

Prasanta said:   7 years ago
Why equal and why not equals? Please explain the reason.

Subhajit said:   7 years ago
We can't write equals we write equal it has no plural form.

Eg: It is the time we should accept our people as equal.

As per my knowledge, when the sentence begins with "it is time", it should be followed by a simple past. Eg: accepted.

The statement must be in past or present subjunctive. So, it should be either, "It is time we accepted" or "it is time that we accept". As far as "equals" is concerned, it is used as a plural noun here, which is correct.
