Definition
过去 (guò qù) as a verb means to go over to a place or for time to pass. Unlike 过 (guò), which emphasizes physically crossing a point (e.g., 过马路), 过去 focuses on the movement from one location to another or the completion of a time period. It can stand alone as a verb or be used as a directional complement.
