Example 1 is inaccurate as it was in the US 10 years ago, because there were past adverb phrases ten years ago.
In this sentence, the subject is the first time I went to the United States, the predicate complement was ten years ago, and referring to the verb of the subject clause is also a past adverb. Therefore, the verb should match the past adverb.
Three years ago, I went to Iceland and Norway. It is the first time outside North America. I looked around and realized that I was the biggest person everywhere. My first thought is as follows. These rich ass eaters better eat and did not work much, so they had time to exercise. Until I experience this ratio, this will be one-third of what you found in the USA. 1/3! This is with me. My weight and custom have changed. How is my lifestyle different from these beautiful Vikings? As a result of several investigations, I found several differences:
Ten years ago, I made a foolish bid on the box of vintage gloves that came from the United States. When they arrived, I thought ... I am doing much better ... and Boo is coming to the goose. My first night was held at Darston's Boys Club. There are drinks, dancing, retro fashion shows, and my first vintage boutique. When I moved to Crystal Palace, I became my mother for the first time. Since holding an important night in North London has become less practical, I decided to open my own house and open a day to set up my Facebook event page. Everyone is welcome, but I confirm that all guests use the appropriate vintage invitation for posting. I can drink a big table of home-made cake, my servant, Mr. Pip The Right Honorable Boo Consort (also known as husband), drink it and everyone can try my old-fashioned item .
Ten years ago, I went to Thailand for the first time. So, I met the people of LGBTQ first. My mother brought me to a performance by LGBTQ entertainers. The quality of this show is very high, I am very impressed, and enjoying their performance. At that time, I was 10 years old, so I could not fully understand LGBTQ. I think Thailand can be said to be an advanced country of LGBTQ. I have been to Thail several times, but people of LGBTQ are easy to find in the streets and restaurants every time. Some of them are working in restaurants, or some of them are massagers. In addition, Thai attitude towards LGBTQ is well known to Japanese. Even Japanese LGBTQ people go to Thailand for plastic surgery to change their bodies and gender.
