عد التجارب: المرة الأولى، الثانية، الثالثة
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
When counting how many times you have done something, always use the Present Perfect tense after the ordinal number.
- Use 'It is the first/second time' + Present Perfect. Example: 'It's the first time I've been here.'
- Never use the Simple Present after this phrase. Wrong: 'It's the first time I am here.'
- Use the Past Perfect if the main verb is in the past. Example: 'It was the first time I had seen it.'
نظرة عامة
It's/This is the [ordinal number] time [that] Subject + Present Perfect في أنه لا يكتفي بإخبارك أن الفعل قد حدث، بل يحدد موقعه في سلسلة تجاربك الشخصية حتى هذه اللحظة. بالنسبة لك كمتعلم لغته الأم هي العربية، قد يبدو هذا النمط غريباً قليلاً لأننا في العربية نستخدم غالباً الفعل المضارع بعد «أول مرة» (أول مرة أرى...)، بينما تصر الإنجليزية على استخدام زمن المضارع التام Present Perfect. فهم هذا الفرق الجوهري هو مفتاحك لتبدو أكثر طلاقة وطبيعية عند التحدث عن إنجازاتك، رحلاتك، أو حتى مواقفك اليومية في «السوق» أو العمل.- 1الإشارة إلى اللحظة الحالية (
It's/This is):
to be كما نفعل في الجملة الاسمية العربية (مثل: «أنا طالب»). يجب أن نقول It is أو This is. هذا هو المبتدأ الذي يشير إلى الموقف الذي تعيشه الآن.- 1أداة التعريف (
the):
the. بدونها، ستكون الجملة ناقصة وغير دقيقة، لأنك تتحدث عن «مرة» محددة ومعينة في ترتيب حياتك.- 1العدد الترتيبي (
Ordinal Number):
first, second, third وليس الأرقام العادية one, two, three. هذا يتطابق مع نظامنا العربي (الأول، الثاني، الثالث).- 1الرابط الزمني (
Present Perfect):
I have seen بدلاً من I see أو I saw؟Present Perfect. هذا الزمن وظيفته الأساسية هي ربط الماضي بالحاضر. عندما تقول It's the first time I've been here (هذه أول مرة أكون فيها هنا)، فأنت تعني أن رصيدك من هذه التجربة قبل هذه اللحظة كان صفراً، والآن أصبح واحداً.It's / This is | هذه / إنها | لا تنسَ فعل is (مبتدأ + خبر) |the | الـ (التعريف) | ضرورية جداً للتحديد |first / second | الأول / الثاني | نستخدم الأعداد الترتيبية دائماً |time | مرة | تعبر عن الواقعة أو المناسبة |Present Perfect | (فعل مضارع أو ماضي مع 'لقد') | الإنجليزية تلتزم بالمضارع التام حصراً |It's / This is + the + [Ordinal Number] + time + (that) + Subject + Present Perfect (have/has + V3)- البداية: يمكنك استخدام
It's(وهي الأكثر شيوعاً في الكلام) أوThis is(للتركيز أكثر على الموقف الحالي). - العدد الترتيبي:
first(الأولى)second(الثانية)third(الثالثة)fourth(الرابعة)last(الأخيرة)- كلمة
that: هي اختيارية تماماً، مثل كلمة «التي» في قولنا «المرة الأولى التي...»، لكن في الإنجليزية غالباً ما نحذفها في الكلام السريع. - الفاعل والمضارع التام:
- مع
I, you, we, theyنستخدمhave+ التصريف الثالث. - مع
he, she, itنستخدمhas+ التصريف الثالث.
- 1
It's the first time I've ever driven an electric car.
- 1
This is the third time she has called me today.
- 1
It's the second time we've visited Dubai.
Past Participle). فمثلاً الفعل see يصبح seen وليس saw.- 1عند تجربة شيء جديد تماماً (The Novelty):
It's the first time I've seen a lion in the wild!- 1عند تكرار فعل معين (The Repetition):
This is the second time you've made a mistake with the bill.- 1لربط الماضي بالمشاعر الحالية:
It's the first time I've felt so welcomed in a new job. (هذه أول مرة أشعر فيها بهذا الترحيب في وظيفة جديدة - يربط الترحيب الذي بدأ عند وصوله بشعوره الحالي).- 1في المقابلات الشخصية أو السير الذاتية:
It's the third time I've managed a project of this scale. (هذه هي المرة الثالثة التي أدير فيها مشروعاً بهذا الحجم).- خطأ:
*It's the first time I saw him.* - صواب:
It's the first time I've seen him. - لماذا يحدث هذا؟ في العربية نقول «هذه أول مرة رأيته فيها» أو «أراه»، فنترجمها مباشرة للماضي البسيط. تذكر: في الإنجليزية، طالما أنك تعدّ المرات «حتى الآن»، فالمضارع التام هو الملك.
- خطأ:
*This the first time...* - صواب:
This is the first time... - لماذا يحدث هذا؟ الجملة الاسمية في العربية لا تحتاج لفعل (هذه المرة الأولى). لكن في الإنجليزية، الجملة بدون فعل هي جملة محطمة.
- خطأ:
*It's the one time I've been there.* - صواب:
It's the first time I've been there. - لماذا يحدث هذا؟ قد يختلط الأمر على المتعلم بين
oneوfirst. تذكر أنك ترتب أحداثاً، والترتيب يتطلبfirst, second, third.
the:- خطأ:
*It's first time I've...* - صواب:
It's the first time I've... - لماذا يحدث هذا؟ أحياناً نسقط الـ التعريف في الكلام السريع، لكنها في هذا النمط ضرورية جداً لأنك تتحدث عن ترتيب محدد.
It's the first time I've... | التركيز على ترتيب التجربة حتى الآن | It's the first time I've eaten sushi. |I have eaten... before | مجرد ذكر أن الفعل حدث سابقاً دون تحديد ترتيب | I have eaten sushi before. |I ate... yesterday | التركيز على وقت محدد في الماضي (انتهى) | I ate sushi yesterday. |It was the first time I had... | التحدث عن «أول مرة» في قصة حدثت وانتهت في الماضي | It was the first time I had ever traveled alone. |It is (مضارع)، يجب أن تستخدم have/has (مضارع تام).It was (ماضي)، يجب أن تستخدم had (ماضي تام).ever في هذا النمط؟ever تعطي قوة للجملة وتؤكد على أن هذه التجربة فريدة في حياتك كلها.It's the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful sunset.that؟It's the first time I've... نقول It was the first time I had....When I went to London last year, it was the first time I had flown on a plane.I haven't done this before. ومع ذلك، يمكن استخدامه في سياق التعجب: Is this the first time you haven't finished your homework? (هل هذه أول مرة لا تنهي فيها واجبك؟).Present Perfect Structure with Ordinals

Stress on Ordinals
In the phrase 'It's the first time,' the word 'first' (or second, third) usually receives the primary sentence stress to emphasize the order.
Contraction Reduction
The 've' in 'I've' or 's' in 'he's' is often very short and almost disappears in fast speech.

ملاحظات ثقافية
British speakers are very strict about using the Present Perfect with 'first time'. Using the Simple Past ('It's the first time I went') sounds much more 'wrong' to a British ear than to some American ears.
While the Present Perfect is the standard, in very casual American speech, you might occasionally hear the Simple Past ('It's the first time I saw that'), though it is still technically incorrect in formal grammar.
Using 'This marks the first time...' is a common way to start press releases or formal announcements in English-speaking corporate environments.
The use of the perfect aspect with ordinals developed as English moved away from using the simple present for all 'state' descriptions in the Middle English period.

الأسئلة الشائعة (8)
Yes, but only if you follow it with a noun or prepositional phrase (e.g., 'This is my first time in Japan'). If you want to use a verb, you must use the 'It's the first time I have...' structure.
In English, the Simple Present is for habits or general truths. A 'first time' is an experience that connects your past to now, which is the specific function of the Present Perfect.
No, 'that' is optional. 'It's the first time I've been here' and 'It's the first time that I've been here' are both correct, though the version without 'that' is more common in speech.
For the future, we usually use the Future Perfect: 'By next week, it will be the third time I have visited him.' However, this is quite advanced and less common.
Adding 'ever' is very common in spoken English because it adds emphasis to the newness of the experience.
Yes! 'This is the last time I have helped you!' (though 'This is the last time I am helping you' is also used for future intent).
Usually 'been' is used if you are currently at the place. 'Gone' is used if you are talking about the trip as a completed action.
The most common mistake is using the Simple Past: 'It's the first time I saw it.' Remember, if the first part is 'It IS', the second part must be 'have/has'.
