She has passed the age of retirement. (The verb “pass” is in the form of the present participle in the present perfect tense.)
He got the ball past the goalkeeper. (The word “past” is used as a preposition along with the verb “get.”)
The ball passed by the goalkeeper. (The verb “pass” is in the past tense in this sentence.)
