I would use it in a sentence.

In the past I worked for....

My sister passed her exams.

Not sure if that's helpful.

Past is historical.

Passed is an action.

Between Scylla and Charybdis

It's similar to the difference between pist and pissed.

My wee one is great at picking things like this up if we make up some kind of trick to remember. Like;

pasT = a Time

passeD = something you Did

Past is an adjective. It describes a known. A past event.

The past is a noun. It's a thing. I did that in the past.

Passed is a verb (a past participle to be precise). It is an action or a happening. The time has passed.

You can add sur to passed, but not to past

I'd choose the "Right to remain silent"
