Can you omit the “的” that is after the verb “举办”？

Question

I know that this sentence is correct: 北京奥运会是2008年举办的。 But can you omit the “的” that is after the verb “举办”？ Like this: 北京奥运会是2008年举办[ ]。 I think, I have read some sentences that has omitted the “的” after a verb in the end of a sentence, but I'm not quite sure. If you can, please provide me some examples.

Answer 1

是......的, it is a sentence drill very useful which indicates emphasis. As a structure, they need one and another. As for your omission, we do it on 是，instead of 的。Here we can try to from your sentence: 北京奥运会是2008年举办的,

1, 北京奥运会2008年举办的。

2,To compare this, 2008年奥运会【是北京举办的】，the place 北京 is emphasized. You can say also:

2008年奥运会北京举办的。

Answer 2

In this case. The use of "的" is necessary at the end of the sentence. Combing "是" in the middle and "的" at the end will form a coherent affirmative sentence.

Here are some examples:

这束花是他送来的。

电脑里的文件文字是被她删除的。

污水在被过滤和消毒以后是可以使用的。

So, the idea here is even though "的" is placed after a verb, it has no connection to "举办", but only placed at the end of the sentence to present an affirmative sentence.
