It's time

It's time, even though it's usually used to talk about the present, has to be
used in the past when the subject is mentioned twice:
It's time to go home now.
It's time we went home now.

The alternative is to use for + subject + full infinitive:

It's time for us to go home now.

Would rather
Another construction which has a similar pattern is would rather:
I'd rather go home now.
I'd rather we went home now.

With this construction, there is no alternative to using the past form when the
subject is mentioned. You cannot say I'd rather for us to go.
Would rather means the same thing as would prefer, but has a different
construction, and the two shouldn't be confused:
Would rather + bare infinitive: I'd rather eat out.
Would rather + subject + past form: I'd rather we ate out.
Would prefer +(subject) + full infinitive: I'd prefer (us) to eat out.
