因为在你说这是我第一次(干什么)的时候,你是正在或者是已经做了某事,所以后面完成时态.比如:
这是我第一次骑马:this is the first time that i have ridden a horse.
但是如果你写成:this is the first time that i ride (am ridding) a horse.你会让人觉得你说这句话的时候你还是骑在马背上.
那时我第一次骑马it was the first time that i had ridden a hose.(你已经骑过马了).
如果你要说那将会是你第一次骑马,it will be the first time that i ride a horse (你还没有骑过马).
