Hi Saneta,

I know you like detail. 'Pass by' is often used in a very general sense rather than the specific use in the test sentence as in: We passed by many big towns as we drove up the motorway.

Hi Saneta,

'Walk past' means walk from one side and on to the next side and then onwards. That sounds a bit complicated, I know. If you are walking along the street and you are looking for a particular shop but you miss it, this could mean you walk past it because you didn't see it.
