Question

It was the first time in a year and a half that I'd seen the night face to face.

请问句子中的这部分是过去完成时吗？： I'd seen the night face to face
感觉不像是啊。

Answer 1

此句是解释first time的从句，相当于It was the first time I'd seen the night face to face in a year and a half，所以其时态参见“was”

Answer 2

是had seen，
“It is the first time that I have done sth.”是一种句子结构，这里由于主句用了was，所以从句里的have也要相应改成had

Answer 3

是啊，had seen 不是过去完成时吗
