It's about time + verb in past simple

Hi
Is it a mistake to use "it's about time" with the verb that follows in present simple or we can only use it with verb in past simple.
For example, is it wrong to say "It is about time to do something regarding this issue"

Thanks

Hi, Is it a mistake to use "it's about time" with the verb that follows in present simple or we can only use it with verb in past simple. Your example does not show a following verb in present simple or past simple. For example, is it wrong to say "It is about time to do something regarding this issue" This is OK.
