it may be time we went

[ademoglu]

Hi,

''I don't know but it may/could/might be time (that) we went.''

Is it grammatically OK in a right context?

Thanks.

I wouldn't use any of them.

I don't know but it's probably time we went.

If I absolutely had to, I'd use "might".

This is more natural: ​I'm not sure, but it may be time for us to go.

If I absolutely had to, I'd use "might".

If it is OK to use 'might' but why not 'could'?

Could works there in American English. It may be a little more casual than the other options.

I think you're right about the right context, but they would require some context. I could use may if I were in a situation where I felt uncomfortable and wanted to suggest to the people that I was with that we should leave.
