The correct answer is 'left'.
 
Key Points
  • The structure "It's time + subject + verb" is used to express that it is the appropriate moment for an action that should have happened already or should happen immediately.
  • In this structure, the verb that follows the subject is typically in the simple past tense, even though the meaning refers to the present or near future. This use of the past tense is similar to its use in unreal or hypothetical situations (like in the second conditional).
  • The simple past tense of the verb "to leave" is "left".
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
 
Complete Sentence: It's time we left.
 
Additional Information
  • Option 1: "are leaving" (Present Continuous) is not the standard grammatical form used after "It's time + subject".
  • Option 2: "had left" (Past Perfect) is used for actions completed before another past action and does not fit the meaning of "it's time" for a present or future action.
  • Option 4: "leave" (Present Simple) is incorrect after "It's time + subject". While "It's time to leave" (using the infinitive) is correct, "It's time we leave" is not standard in this structure.
