问题描述:
itistimethat句型中跟过去式,当动词是be动词时,过去式用was还是were?
崔占忠回答:
itistimethat句型后过去式用was还是were都可以,
但要看接后的宾语从句决定:
Thepeoplearestillinthedarkaboutthis.Itistimethattheannouncementwasmade.
Peopleareveryworriedaboutthelackofaction.It‘stimethattheirmindsweresetatease.
(同意楼上说的,that一般可以省略)

Isn'tittimethatpublicattention__________totheproblemsfacedbyunattendedchildren?为什么用weredrawn不用wasdrawn?
崔占忠回答:
从语法角度看,虚拟句的正确方式是were+动词被动语态,所以语法老师坚持用weredrawn,但英语是灵活的语言,近来很多英语母语者习惯用IfIwasrichifIwasapianist等等的说法(尤其是口语),俗语说,languageisusage,所以个人觉得was是可以接受的,但这不是说你的英语老师会同意这个观点。
