Hi,
I have a question regarding the 是。。的 sentence structure. In the third sentence from the end of the dialog 马可 says:
我是十七岁在美国学会开车的
I noticed that 的 comes after 车 in this sentence – not after 开 (the verb). In most of the examples in lesson 30.1 的 comes right after the verb.

Thanks,

开车 is a 离合词(líhécí ▸ Detachable Compound), and this means that 开车 can be treated as a verb and also a verb-Object phrase.

高飞:谢谢你来我家。你是坐地铁来的吗?
马可:不是,我是坐出租车。
高飞:你怎么不坐地铁来呢?地铁很便宜,也很快。
马可:我每天到坐地铁去学校,今天不想做了。
高飞:出租车怎么样?快吗?贵吗?
马可:出租车很快,也很贵。
高飞:你上个星期也是坐出租车来的吗?
马可:上个星期?我上个星期是开车来的。
高飞:你买车了?怎么没告诉我?是什么时候买的?
马可:那辆车不是我的,是我女朋友上个月买的。我上个星期是开他的车来的。
高飞:你和你女朋友都喜欢开车吗?
马可:我们都不喜欢开。
高飞:你是多大学会开车的?
马可:我是十七岁在美国学会开车的,你呢?
高飞:我也是十七岁学会开车的。我现在不喜欢开车,我喜欢坐地铁和出租车。
马可:我现在也不喜欢开车,在中国开车太慢了,坐地铁快。
