Help me out here.

Is it 'he walked past' or 'he walked passed'?

I know what I think but you tell me.

The first one.

'He walked past the shop'

"he walked past".

As in - he walked past a large dog.

No more to add!

Thank you!

Currently having an argument about it on the dreaded FB with an english teacher! Am I correct in thinking you can't have two verbs together, and 'past' is an adverb?

"past" is a preposition of movement in this example.

You can have 2 verbs together, but where one of them would be acting as an auxiliary verb (eg "he had walked past the shop when I saw him")

I shall remain aghast all day that an English teacher thinks "walked passed" is OK!

Unless you constructed a sentence along these lines:

The route that he walked passed many famous landmarks.

In this case "passed" is the main verb and "that he walked" is a clause modifying "route".

Well she tried to say that it was correct but she did later admit to a grammatical error.

I bloody knew I was right. I'm not very good at explaining it in the correct terminology but I knew it was wrong.
