易错句子She walked passed the library.
正确表达She walked past the library.
表示“从某处经过”时要用介词 past，passed 没有这个介词用法，所以不能说 walked passed the library。

易错句子In the passed few years, the city has changed a lot.
正确表达In the past few years, the city has changed a lot.
passed 作形容词表示“已通过考试或资格的、合格的”，不表示时间上的“过去的”；表示“过去的”要用形容词 past，因此 the past few years 才正确。
past 作形容词指“过去的、以往的”，也可作介词或副词表示“经过”；passed 作形容词表示“已通过的、已越过的”，不能表示“以前的”。两者同音，拼写和语法作用不同。
passing 作形容词常指“及格的（分数或标准）”，也可指“短暂的、路过的”；passed 作形容词强调“已经通过考试或资格”或“已越过某点”的结果。表示及格标准常用 passing，表示完成结果用 passed。
qualified 强调具备资格、能胜任，资格可来自培训、经验或证书；passed 作形容词更具体指通过考试或已越过某一点，常见于固定搭配。
