Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: It is high time you must go home.
went home
The expression It is high time (or It is time) is followed by a subject + simple past tense verb, even though the meaning refers to the present or near future. This past form shows that the action is already overdue.
Therefore the correct sentence is "It is high time you went home." (An alternative structure is "It is high time for you to go home.")
"Must" cannot be used after "It is high time", and "must went" is ungrammatical because a modal takes the base form. "Go home" uses the base verb, and "going home" has no finite verb.
Hence, the highlighted part should be replaced with "went home".
