""To pass" is a verb meaning moving from one place to another and passed is the past tense of it so you "pass the salt" in the present tense or "passed the salt" in the past tense, therefore you can't walk passed the supermarket it doesn't make sense. Past I think is an adverb so it joins another verb to mean something (correct me if I'm wrong my grammar is a bit shaky)this is why you can "drive past" something. It takes a good teacher to explain something like this clearly and I am clearly not that lol. BUT as long as we can be understood does it matter? And if you're talking no one can tell the difference anyway "I think the simplest way to explain it is 'passed' involves movement of a tangible object and 'past' involves the movement of time. | |||

" I think the simplest way to explain it is 'passed' involves movement of a tangible object and 'past' involves the movement of time." It can be more than just the "movement of time" though. You can use the word past as an adverb whilst the verb it is affecting is in the present tense, e.g. "I am walking past the shop right now". I find it easier to think which context requires a verb and which requires an adverb or an adjective (past as an adjective would be, for example, "past events led to this happening"). Passed is mostly only used as a verb... it can also be a noun, such as "the Act was passed", but mostly it's used as a verb. | |||

"Don't go parsing at this time of night. I'll never get to sleep at this rate. If we stop now, will that be a parsnip?" Brilliant! X | |||
""therefore you can't walk passed the supermarket it doesn't make sense. "" No, however you may have passed the supermarket in the past - possibly on your way to buy some pasties. | |||
| |||
"I have no fucking clue...... I am just going to never say past or passed ". That's just a cop out! | |||
| |||
| |||
""therefore you can't walk passed the supermarket it doesn't make sense. " No, however you may have passed the supermarket in the past - possibly on your way to buy some pasties." What if, in the past, the pasty salesperson had made a pass at you, you didn't see it and passed on by? | |||

Rarrrrrr"The basic rules to passed and past can be explained easily as per this e.g.: 'To pass' often means 'to move past', and this is where confusion can arise. Of note, 'to pass' can also mean 'to sail past', 'to fly past', 'to run past', 'to hop past', etc. - the method of moving is irrelevant. This is worth bearing in mind, because if you have used a verb indicating motion already, then it will be partnered with 'past' and not 'passed'. Remember, 'passed' is the past tense of the verb 'to pass'. The word 'past' has several meanings (usually related to 'time before the present' or to indicate movement 'from one side of a reference point to the other side'.) 'Past' can be used as an adjective, an adverb, a noun or a preposition. So bearing that in mind, you would correctly say: I drove past a place today or Today I passed a place while driving You could not say - I drove passed a place. | |||
""therefore you can't walk passed the supermarket it doesn't make sense. " No, however you may have passed the supermarket in the past - possibly on your way to buy some pasties. What if, in the past, the pasty salesperson had made a pass at you, you didn't see it and passed on by?" We all have regrets in our past. It must have been a good pasty for me to have passed on by oblivious to such a pass. | |||
