💡Do you know what the difference is between “past” and “pass”? 🤔While studying my grammar lessons, I realized I was confused about when to use the two different forms. This is the kind of question that may come up in an advanced IELTS listening question. I researched the question and finally figured out how to use them when we describe movements. “Past” is often used as a preposition, so it is paired after a verb, while the word “pass” is a verb. · Prepositional Form · 🌸 Past: (prep.) up to and beyond (a person or place) [v.+past+object] 1. We drove past the house. (drive past) 2. I must have walked right past her. (walk past) 3. He looked past me to the next customer. (look past) 4. Go past the bank, then you will see the hospital on your right. (go past) 5. I'm driving past the school right now. · Verb Form · 🌸 Pass: (v.) to move past someone or something [pass+object] 1. They pass the library every morning on their way to school. 2. The ships passed each other in the night. 3. We passed each other in the hallway without looking up. · There is also an adjective form. 🌸 Past: (adj.) having existed in before the present time. 1. He has fond memories of his past experiences in school. 2. She was hired because of her past work experiences.
