What does PAST mean in Scrabble?
noun
The period of time before the present moment, or something that belongs to or happened in that earlier time.
The past holds everything that has already happened. A historian studies the past to understand how earlier events shaped the present, and a person can speak of a painful past without wanting to return to it. In both cases the word looks backward from now.
How PAST is used
Also used as an adjective and preposition, as in "the past week" or "walk past the shop".
- She rarely spoke about her past.
- Historians study the past to explain the present.
