Thank you for the confirmation.

Which would be an opportunity to be grateful, in my book.

Yes, it should have been past.

This thread embiggens my grammar doings.

And if you want some information on how you'd know:

"Passed" is always a verb ("I passed the car" "he passed away").

Past can be a noun ("I knew him in the past") and adverb ("he drove past me"), and adjective ("the past events were a success") or as a preposition ("the high school is down the road just past the convenience store"). But not a verb.

In your sentence, "passed" is used as a preposition. Which means it should be "past."

DeSean Jackson of the Eagles said that it's "unpossible" to cover him with one defensive back.


Maybe it's a fortune cookie calling for a happy and safe post-Thanksgiving, uh, movement.

Passed/past isn't the only grammar error in his sentence.

I would have said "Perhaps we can all get past the big dinner, and look forward to the opportunities for being grateful that lie ahead.

"small bird" vs. "rough patch of river"

Perhaps it is a poison that both kills birds and dissolves rocks.

The comma is unnecessary.

Unnecessary, but not out of line.

I love grammar!
