we're out of time

Grammar usage guide and real-world examples

Use "we're out of time" to signal the end of a discussion, meeting, or activity due to time constraints. It's suitable when needing to wrap up and transition to the next item or conclude the session.

You can use alternatives like "time is running out", "time's up", or "we have no time left" depending on the context and level of formality.

Use "we're out of time" to smoothly transition to the conclusion. Follow it with a brief summary of key points and action items. This ensures the meeting ends productively despite the time constraint.

While generally acceptable, in highly formal settings, consider using phrases like "our time is limited" or "we must conclude due to time constraints". The choice depends on the audience and context.
