TODAY'S IDIOM: IT'S HIGH TIME

"IT'S HIGH TIME"

If you say it's high time something was done, you think it should have been done already, and is overdue.

Example: It's high time Mick got a real job. He's been wasting his time singing in that Rolling Stones band for too long. 


Ya es hora / Ya va siendo hora.


Example sentences:

• It's high time you started looking after your body. You're not a teenager any more, you know! / Ya es hora de que empieces el cuidado de tu cuerpo. Ya no eres un adolescente, lo sabes! 

• It's high time I went to the doctor; I've postponed it four times / Ya va siendo hora de que vaya al médico, lo he postergado cuatro veces. 
  

Additional examples:

• Tim's mum said it was high time he paid her money for rent because he's had a job for months.

• It's high time we were leaving.

• It's high time you started thinking about saving for your old age.
