Spot the mistakes doubts

Hello  everybody.

I was making a " spot the mistake exercise and i have some doubts about 3 sentences. I can't guess where the mistakes are:

1. We were hot because we'd run. 

i thought the mistake was " because We had been running " but I am not sure.

2. It's time we go go.

I thought maybe the corretc answer was " it's time to go home"

3.  He climbed up the Mount Everst.

I presume the mistake is in the phrasal verb.

Someone could help me clarify these doubts. 

thank you and have a nice day.

3. You'd write "Mount Everest", vs. "the Mount Everest", although you'd use "the" with "the mountain". You can also say "He climbed Mount Everest."

You are a great student of English! I would enjoy helping you with English, and receiving your help with Italian.

2. "It's time to go home" is fine. You can also say "It's time (that) we went".

1. Yes, I'd use the past perfect continuous "we had been running" because this tense is often used with causality - "because..." See http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/pastperfectcontinuous.html
