Passed and Past can often be lost in translation but, at the end of the day, can mean the same.

I am talking about traveling and going further.

Sounds like one of my discussions with Nick !!


You would always go 'past' something.

If you pass the point of no return you went 'past' the point of no return. Having done so, you have passed the point of no return.

If you are referring to a distance or a period of time before now, use “past”: “the police car drove past the suspect’s house” (distance) or “the team performed well in the past” (time). If you are describing the action of passing, however, you need to use “passed”: “when John passed the gravy, he spilled it on his lap,” “the teacher was astonished that none of the students had passed the test,” “after a brief illness, he passed away.” Remember that no matter however you have ”passed the time” you have never “past the time,” not even in the distant past.


“Past” can be an adjective, a noun, a preposition, or an adverb, but never a verb. If you need to write the past tense of the verb “to pass,” use “passed.”

a gps fix would make things easier, for me at least...

If you really do have difficulty then I am happy to come and meet you somewhere else an you can follow me back.

Righto!  If I have difficulty, will pop an email straight away!

Actually, can't resist poking a bit of fun, re travel instructions. 
Giving of directions can tax a persons command of their English vocabulary and your directions were quite well stated; go figure! 
A google map or GPS info is always helpful, along with a phone number for last minute 'corrections'.

I agree. Notwithstanding minor grammatical errors, Steve's directions were clear and concise.


(especially about driving 55kph in the outside lane)

Most 'umble apologies about any "past" misunderstandings.

I must say I think the directions are good. I followed them last night and arrived home safely.

Steve, I don't think you sell, Coleman's Mustard, or Gravy Granules,  so I would like to ask Nookie if he could bring some for me,

Here is a map.

Not seeing an "X marks the spot" or a " * is here", am guessing your facility is the red rectangle.

You are quite correct Bill.
