Haraszti Magdi Posted May 31, 2024 Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 Dear Minoo, I reviewed the live vocabulary lesson on 'Easily confused phrasal verbs'. When I was making the quiz I found a sentence whose "tense" was strange for me. "You work too much! It’s time you took up a proper hobby." I would say: "It's time for you to take up a proper hobby." Could you suggest, which chapter should I review for getting a clear understanding why should we use past tense in this particular sentence? Thank you very much for your help Magdi Quote Link to comment
Head Tutor Minoo Posted May 31, 2024 Head Tutor Report Share Posted May 31, 2024 Hi Magdi, Great question! Your answer is perfectly correct too. To understand the answer in the quiz (took up), you need to review the topic 'The Subjunctive: Past Subjunctive'. The complete lesson is in the Advanced section of the Study plan, and there's a bonus lesson in the PDF library as well. Happy revision! Minoo Quote Link to comment
