Hello,

Is it OK to say 'it's about time to go'' because I know that we can use ''it's about time we went''?

Thanks.

Is that OK?

It's OK but I would normally expect to see "It's high time ..." followed by a person and a verb, rather than "to + verb".

It's high time he stopped doing that.
It's high time the government started taking notice of the people's opinions.
It's high time that child learnt to read.
