That was the first time I laid eyes on Edward Cole.
I laid eyes on Edward Cole.这个句子是定语从句吗?
为什么它不用关系代词when连接呢?
如果是用that连接作(省略了),那that应该是作宾语吧?那它的位置放那里?

【答】lay eyes on = set eyes on 看见
I laid eyes on Edward Cole.这个句子是定语从句。
在定语从句中,when是关系副词,不是关系代词。在It/This/That is (was) the + 序数词 + time 后面可以用that(或省略that,但是一般不用when)连接一个句子。以下内容摘自赵振才教授编著的《英语常见问题解答大词典》增订版第四版,可以很好地解答你的问题:“在正式英语里,This is the first time I heard her sing.是错误的。”“This is the first (second,third ...)time 这个结构要求后面使用现在完成时,This was the first (second,third ...)time 这个结构要求后面使用过去完成时。......但是,在美国英语里,也有人在从句里使用一般过去时:It was the first time I knew ...”【说明】(1)上述句型中的this也可以改为that或者it;(2)你的句子属于美国英语用法。如果参加考试,最好使用正式英语的用法。
如果是用that连接(省略了),那that不是作宾语,在上面的句子作状语。它的位置放在time后面。

1.I laid eyes on Edward Cole.这个句子是定语从句吗?
2.为什么它不用关系代词when连接呢?
3.如果是用that连接作(省略了),那that应该是作宾语吧?那它的位置放那里
回答如下
【1】It/This/That+is/was+first/second等序数词+time(表示次数)+(that)主语+谓语,属于定语从句,不能有连接副词when引导定语从句.
关系副词when引导定语从句相当于介词+关系代词用法在定语从句中充当时间状语.
例如:
I will never forget the day when I joined the army.
=I will never forget the day on which I joined the army.
【2】It/This/That +is/was等序数词+time(表示次数)+(that)主语+谓语,属于固定搭配定语从句,不可以用连接副词引导定语从句
结构为It/This /That is/was+the 序数词+that sb have/has/had done sth 结构
(1) It/That/This is the first time that sb has/have done sth
(前面如果是IS,后面现在完成时态)
This is the first time that I have seen the film.
(2)It/That/This was the first time that sb had done sth
(前面如果是WAS, 后面就用过去完成时态)
This was the first time that I had seen the film.
以上意思,这是某人第1次做某事情
【3】that连词省略,在句子作状语,意思第1次,相当for the firs time
【4】lay eyes on=set eyes on=see v. 看到,瞧见
None of us had ever laid eyes on a generator before
=None of us had ever set eyes on a generator before.
=None of us had ever seen a generator before
我们过去谁也没看见过发电机
