引導(dǎo)的名詞從句作表語。Nowthat…NowthatHelenunderstoodthekeytolanguage,shewaseagertolearnmoreanduseitasmuchasshecould.Nowthatthey’vegottoknoweachotheralittlebetter,theygetalongjustfine.Whatcanwedowithitnowthatwe’vefoundthe“HiddenWeb”?ItwasthefirsttimeHelenhadunderstoodsuchacomplexword.Itis/wasthe+序數(shù)詞

+time+（that）

...表示“是第……次做……”。這是一個(gè)特殊的句型，

當(dāng)主句用is時(shí)，that從句應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)；當(dāng)主句用was時(shí)，that從句應(yīng)該用過去完成時(shí)。還可以用This/That代替It。如：It/This/ThatwasthefirsttimethatyourgrandpahadbeentoAmerica.這是你外公第一次去美國(guó)。這是他第一次上學(xué)遲到。

Thatwasthefirsttimethathehadbeenlateforschool.用所給短語的適當(dāng)形式填空。
