Kiwi asks…
I want to know how to use "be(verb)+past" form in a sentence. Could you give me some examples?
Answer from a Native speaker

Rebecca
Yes, I can give you some examples! "Be verb + past" can indicate a point that one has passed or will pass, usually in reference to time, metaphorically, or physically. Ex: She is past the age of wanting to play with toys. Ex: We're just past the purple house. Can you meet us here? Ex: He's past the point of saving. => He can't be helped Ex: It is past your bedtime. Ex: We're past the honeymoon phase of our relationship.
