重点知识讲解
It’s time to do sth.，It’s time for sb. to do sth.和It’s time for sth.句型辨析
①It’s time to do sth.意为“是做某事的时候了”，但没有讲清楚是谁去做。
It’s time to go to school. 是上学的时候了。
②It’s time for sb. to do sth.意为“是某人做某事的时候了”，for后面通常接一个表示人的词语，其后的不定式所表示的动作就是这个表示人的词语sb.发出的。
例：
It’s time for you to go to school. 是你上学的时候了。
③It’s time for sth.也表示“是做某事的时候了”，但这个句型中介词for的后面只能是表示物的名词，说明所要做的事情。例：
It’s time for class. 是上课的时候了。
注意：It’s time to do sth. 和It’s time for sth. 在一定条件下可相互转换。
例：
It’s time for supper.= It’s time to have supper. 该吃晚饭了。
