Torsten,
Is this usage is ok with "Past"
1. I have got past the hard time.
2. I have got past the railway station.
3. Have you got past the login page (Did you navigate from the Log in page).
Thanks,
Suresh |

Hi Suresh,
In 1) I would suggest 'the hard times'.
In 2) and 3) I would suggest 'gone past'.
That said, I would accept the use of 'past' in the sense of 'further than' 'beyond' as you have used them in your sentences.
