Past vs. Passed

by Richard W Scott on January 31, 2010


Keeping these words straight can be very difficult.  They sound so much alike that in speech it takes a well-tuned ear to tell them apart.  Especially if the speaker isn’t clear about which is which.

These examples should help:

The old man passed away.
The Center passed the ball.
She passed me the note.

I moved past the crowd.
I am past that point in our relationship.
My past life flashed before my eyes.
