0J1U1w!p"{!oAnswer: 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. bbs.englishcn.com"~*?*u x(y.I#y

8z2r0Q0D&p'f*m8]问题26: 有一句句子是这样的“It is the first time that I have visited the     Great Wall of China”，可是我记得我们老师经常说“It's time we had class”。 请问我是否也可以用过去时替换这里的现在完成时呢？English learners' Forum'D/J7c,Y6j2^:?'i

0P `+Y;q5E,c+pBBS.EnglishCN.com是英语学习者和爱好者交流与提高的地方回答: 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。

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.
