Question

关于这个句子的英语语法问题。

Answer 1

上面的句子和这个 句子是同样的问题：
It has been the second time I came to Chongqing.
这个语法点在改错（高考的一种题型）中不是经常出现吗？
明确：I came to Chongqing 和 the debates were televised 都是做的定语，是定语从句。
分析：1960 was the first year the debates were televised。the debates were televised做定语修饰the first year，那么问题是the First year 在定语从句中做设么成分
明确：the first year在定语从句中做状语，时间状语
接着分析：如果做状语不是应该写成1960 was the first year when(in which) the debates were televised吗？其实不然，
明确（语法点）：介词短语作状语，其中含有first/second/third等这类词 或者含有way时，介词in要省略。
接着分析：the debates were televised （in）the first year
