I wrote a post about that because I feel that strongly about those words. http://sirragirl.blogspot.com/2012/05/whats-in-word.html <br />Also, a friend wrote an awesome post just on the standard and nonstandard English. Please read it. Thank you. http://criticalawesomeness.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/standard-and-nonstandard-words/S. A.

"Past locates" something time, time before present, something completed, but never the regular or the past tense of the verb "pass." These two words are not even related. They just sound a like. Hope this helps.<br /><br />Thanks all for your comments~S. A.

It covers a lot of mistakes writers tend to make when writing, especially the ones at the ends of which some people tend to add or take away a "d". <br /><br />I'm looking at the distinctions between "passed" and "past". "Past" can be an adjective, you said, so the definition for "passed" could be more along the lines of, "verb in *past* sense," since "past" is describing "tense". But you're more educated than I, so I may be completely wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226709176244280726.post-65384765571258659062011-12-10T10:33:03.058-08:002011-12-10T10:33:03.058-08:00Most complete list I've seen on this to date. ...Most complete list I've seen on this to date.
