THE CORRECT WAY TO SPELL "PAST" AS IN PAST EXPERIENCE?

[Kenji4861]

No one knows the corrrect answer, how do I spell "Past" or "passed" as in past experience (previous experience) or past relationship. Please help

Is it Past? or is it Passed? or is it neither? Thanks!

Past. Who are you asking that doesn't know the answer??

 

[j0lly]

The correct word to use would be past.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Past. And may I recommend www.dictionary.com .

 

[swai]

you could just use "previous"

 

[Kenji4861]

Thanks guys!~!

 

[Miramonti]

past = adjective modifying a noun
passed = past tense verb of pass
past tense = tense of verb that passed in the past.

I passed the ford festiva as we raced past the police station :Q :Q

"I passed the ford festiva as we raced past the police station"

But since that was yesterday, it is all in the past.

<< someones been cutting ESL, eh? >>



ROFL!!!
Good one, thaRealest.


As sad as this may sound though, a few people in my Honors English Pre-AP don't know the difference themselves.

Another expression commonly written incorrectly is: "Common" used instead of the correct "Come on"

Sounds like someone cannot get past the fact that spell checker will not help poor english skills. Thank god I compete against people like you for a job.
