From the words or group of words labelled A to D, choose the one that best completes each of the following sentences.
It is high time you......visiting that friend of yours
It is high time you......visiting that friend of yours
should stop
stopped
stop

הֶסבֵּר
The correct option to complete the sentence is B. stopped. The phrase “It is high time” is used to indicate that something should be done immediately or as soon as possible. In this context, the sentence means that you should have stopped visiting your friend a long time ago and it is now overdue. Therefore, the correct verb tense to use is the past simple tense, which is “stopped”.
