Question 26: I came across a sentence like this "It is the first time    that I have visited the     Great wall of China". However, I    remember our teacher often says "It's time we     had class".    Is it possible for me to use past tense instead of present    perfect    tense here?

2B0_9Y$|/K3M)SEnglish learners' ForumAnswer: No, we can only use present perfect tense in the sentence    you mentioned.    "It is    the first (second, etc.) time+ that    clause" is a fixed structure and we can only use     perfect tense in its subordinate clause. If the main clause appears    in past tense, the subordinate clause must be in past    perfect tense form. E.g. It was the second    time I had been    there.     "It is (about/high) time + that clause" is another    fixed form and we can only use past tense in the    subordinate clause.

"A ]3r)B"K(u(p%G
回答: 不可以。“It is the first (second, etc.) time+ that clause”是一个固定的结构，从句中谓语动 词一定要用完成时。如果主句为一般过去时，从句中谓语动词则用过去完成时，如： It was the    second time I had been    there. “It is (about/high) time + that clause”是另一个固定用法， 从句中一定要用过去时。

Question 27: I found that the word "class" is sometimes followed by a singular verb and sometimes a plural one. Are there any rules I should follow?    英语论坛-英语麦当劳;D.K b6P*c)N3i/f&n

/E%v,O:I;R-p&_0H"Pbbs.englishcn.comAnswer: Class is one of the collective nouns. Collective nouns are usually singular but may be plural if the members are functioning independently. Watch the pronouns for clues to the singular or plural nature of the subject, some of these words are class， team, police, committee, audience, family, faculty, etc.

Question 28:    It's hard for me to decide whether a noun for nationality that end with -ses,-ch, or -sh should take a singular verb or a plural one. Can you give me any suggestions?)u9~7Y/p(e.D&J-I

Answer: Nouns for nationality that end with -ses, -ch, or -sh may be singular or plural depending on their meanings. Some of these words are Chinese, French, English, etc. When the word refers to a language, it takes a singular verb. When the word refers to the people of the country, it takes a plural verb and is preceded by the article "the".English learners' Forum(p7i:x(d*]*R

Question 30: As we all know, a verbal adjective can take the form of either the present participle (-ing) or the past participle (-ed). Then how to decide which form I should apply?
3}4K6M+o2C-l%p5qbbs.englishcn.combbs.englishcn.com"Y;j:O1r4y&R-@ Y4i
Answer: When the noun that is being described is actively "doing" the action, the present participle is used as the verbal adjective. But when the noun is the receiver of the action and is passively having something done to it, the past participle is used.
