pass

verb. / ˈpas / passed; passing; passes.

Passed is only used as a form of the verb “pass,” whereas past functions as a noun (the past), adjective (past times), preposition (just past), and adverb (running past). Since ‘passed’ is just a version of the verb ‘pass,’ it can take the forms ‘pass,’ ‘passes,’ or ‘passing’ as well.

An opening, road, or track, available for passing; especially, one through or over some dangerous or otherwise impracticable barrier such as a mountain range; a passageway; a defile; a ford.

The word passed is the past tense of the verb to pass. The verb pass, when used in present tense would look like this: I will pass the ball to you. If you substituted the word pass for passed, I passed the ball to you, it signifies that this happened previously. That is has already happened.

Simply using “yes” and “no” may suffice in some contexts, such as your example of labeling CVs. It’s ambiguous. The context of the other state would indicate what the first one means in this case. For instance, if the folders are labelled pass and fail , then pass means “These are candidates we want to select from.”

It is past your bedtime. You have passed your bedtime.

Is it walked past or passed? The words “walk past” are grammatically correct. The word “past” is an adverb describing the verb (“walk”). However, the phrase “walk pass” is meaningless, because “pass” could be either a noun or a verb, but it is not an adverb.

“Past this point” usually refers to being in a position relative to the point. “Passed this point” refers to being in motion relative to the point. Both are grammatically correct.

The correct version is “in years past”. “Passed” could be used for example like this: “The prisoner sat miserably in his cell.

In its adjective form, past means “just gone” or “having taken place before now.” I regret many of my past deeds. In the past few days, I have watched seventeen horror movies. Passed is in the past tense.

“Have passed” isn’t right; it denotes plural. You’re referring to a singular noun—-“year”. “Has” or “had” will work; which one depends on the time frame.

You want to use simple past or present perfect for ‘these past few days’ because you are referring to events that already happened, so do not use the future or simple present tense for them.

“these days” is correct; “this days” is wrong. The demonstrative determiner “this” has a singular form “this” and a plural form “these”, and its plurality must match that of the noun that follows it. “days” is a plural noun. “These days,” because days is plural.

A “few” typically refers to the vicinity of 3 to 7 of something. A few days would be longer than a couple (two) but shorter than a week (seven). So the time duration could range from three to six days and still be classified as a few.

‘In the last few days’ means that during the last few days, [something happened]. ‘ For the last few days’ means that there has been a certain condition during that time. Examples: “In the last few days, I saw old friends three times.” ” For the last few days, I have been seeing old friends a lot.” See a translation.

Between these two choices, the correct answer is “these past few weeks”. The reason why is that “these” is for plural nouns, while “this” is for singular nouns.

phrase. If you tell or ask someone what has happened so far, you are telling or asking them what has happened up until the present point in asituation or story, and often implying that something different might happen later. It’s been quiet so far. So far, they have met with no success.

Yes, you can answer with “so far so good”, but it doesn’t communicate the same as simply saying “Good”. It’s informal and is often a little humorous….

• I’m better than I was, but not nearly as good as I’m going to be.
• I think I’m doing OK.
• I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.
• I am blessed!

—used to say that something (such as a project or an activity) has proceeded well or without problems up to the present “How’s the work on your house going?” “There’s a lot more to do, but so far, so good.”

Well, so far, so good. This idiom was first recorded in James Kelly’s Scottish Proverbs (1721), where it is defined: “So far, so good. So much is done to good purpose.”

“How has your day been so far?” or “How is your day going so far?” “Was” indicates a past and finished situation. Still haven’t found your answers?

Example sentences — “How’s your new car running?’ “So far, so good.” — “Do you like being a lawyer?” “It’s a lot of work but so far, so good.” — It’s been so far, so good with the babysitter and I hope it stays that way.

Because “All is good” probably means “Everything is good,” yes, it’s grammatically correct!

Both are correct depending on the context. “All is well”- refers to the appraisal of a situation that every thing is in order. Situation is singular. “All are well”- refers to the well being of a group of people/friends etc., Group is more than one & is plural.
