Earthquake in Vegas!!

[AY4B]

This earthquake may have opened a large crack in lake Mead. It is draining very fast now as we speak, around 9 feet in the last couple of days. Many are worried about where that water is going. If it hits a pocket of magma, the whole area could go Kabluey.

I felt was eating lunch and the counter moved. People looked at each other and asked "did that really just happen?".

 

[SNOOPY]

Nor "past" it either; I presume...

:banghead:

Satellite images are showing thousands of steam plumes over an area as big or bigger than Nevada over the past couple of days.

I'll stick with this:

http://www.dailywritingtips.com/passed-vs-past/

• “The heroes passed a village on their way towards the mountains.” That is equivalent to what SNOOPY said.

Also, your link states past refers to time.

Maybe we can agree on this one. Isn't it past your bedtime?:joke:

NoNoNoNoNoNoNo... :banghead:
Please read a little bit deeper into the definition of "Past"
There's a spot in there, where they refer to positioning of two things in relation to one another.
That is the applicable definition.
In your example above: once the heroes have passed the village; they are then PAST it... :thumbup:

Bob,

Believe whatever you'd like.

Past can be used as an adverb, adjective or noun. Passed is a verb in the past tense, which is the way SNOOPY used it.

No; he used it to explain a relative positioning of himself, and another point on the map...:banghead:. He most certainly did NOT use it in the manner that you've described.

“The heroes passed a village on their way towards the mountains.”
It’s common to see this written as:

• “The heroes past a village on their way towards the mountains.”

But the word should be passed, as (in this sentence) it’s the past participle of the verb “to pass”. An easy way to tell is to rewrite the sentence in the present tense, as though you’re describing something which is happening currently:

• “The heroes pass a village on their way towards the mountains.”
• or “The heroes are passing a village on their way towards the mountains.”

However, if you wrote:

• “The heroes walked past a village on their way towards the mountains.”

At least you are quoting from the link I provided. You say potatoes; I say tomatoes. And, never the twain shall meet.
