PAST or PASSED?
I've had LOTS of requests for info on these confusing words, so I do hope this clears up any confusion!
* If you PASS [drive by] a car on the freeway, you've PASSED it. [past tense of *to pass*]
* A Parliamentary motion is PASSED. [past tense of *to pass*]
* A Parliamentary motion is being discussed - the Parliament wants to PASS the motion. [present tense of *to pass*]
* The shop is PAST [beyond] the corner.
TIP: *PAST* the corner is not a form of *to pass*, hence is spelled differently.
TIP: *PASSED* is the past tense of *to pass*.
VERB: TO PASS:
Present Tense:
I pass
You pass
He/she passes
They pass
We pass
Past Tense:
I passed
You passed
He/she passed
They passed
We passed
Make sense now? I hope so!
