Cấu trúc It's high time | Định nghĩa, cách dùng, bài tập vận dụng
It’s high time là cấu trúc mang ý nghĩa là gợi ý, nhắc nhở đã đến lúc nên làm một điều gì đó. Đặc biệt cấu trúc này thường được sử dụng khi người nói muốn biểu đạt ý nghĩa đã hơi trễ cho một điều gì đó (tức là nó phải được xảy ra ngay, càng sớm càng tốt). Đây là một cấu trúc khá đặc biệt bởi nhìn thì đây giống như câu ở thì quá khứ đơn nhưng về mặt ý nghĩa lại dùng để nói về hiện tại hay tương lai.
Ví dụ:
Tomorrow John is going to take an exam. It’s high time for him to study right row.
(Ngày mai John có bài kiểm tra. Đã đến lúc anh ấy nên học ngay thôi.)
It’s high time Jane changed her fashion style.
(Đã đến lúc Jane nên thay đổi phong cách thời trang của cô ấy.)
Cấu trúc It’s high time + S + V-ed/V2 được sử dụng dưới dạng động từ chia ở thì quá khứ, dùng để diễn tra, nhấn mạnh thời gian mà một hành động, một sự việc cần làm ngay tại thời điểm đó.
Công thức:
It’s high time + S + Ved/V2
Ví dụ:
Cấu trúc It’s high time for sb theo sau là một chủ thể cũng mang nghĩa tương tự như cấu trúc trên, nhưng có một chút khác biệt ở tính chất câu nói. Cấu trúc này thường được sử dụng trong trường hợp muốn nhấn mạnh tính phê phán sự việc mà ai đã làm trễ và cần phải làm ngay lúc này.
Công thức:
It’s high time + for somebody + to V
Ví dụ:
Khi chia động từ ở mệnh đề đứng sau It’s time dưới dạng thì quá khứ, cấu trúc này sẽ mang nghĩa tương tự cấu trúc It’s high time.
Còn khi động từ của mệnh đề được chia dưới dạng To V (động từ nguyên mẫu có To) thì cấu trúc It’s time sẽ mang nghĩa là gợi ý cho người nghe một điều nên làm.
Công thức 1:
It’s time + S + V-ed
Ví dụ:
Công thức 2:
It’s time + for somebody + to V
Ví dụ:
Tương tự như nghĩa của cấu trúc It’s high time và It’s time, cấu trúc it’s about time được sử dụng để nhấn mạnh một một việc nào đó đáng lẽ đã phải làm hoặc được hoàn thành rồi. Cấu trúc của It’s about time cũng đặc biệt diễn tả ý nghĩa hiện tại hoặc tương lai nhưng chia động từ ở thì quá khứ.
Công thức:
It’s about time + S + V-ed
Ví dụ:
