the car ran/passed near me

[Arctica1982]

Hello!

The car which has passed past me was a BMW.
The car which has run past me was a BMW.

I think both sentences are correct. What can you say about them?

 

[emsr2d2]

Neither.

The car which went past me was a BMW.

The car which was driven past me was a BMW.

There was no need to use the present perfect.

Do the buses go to the Central Park.
Do the buses run to the Central Park.

Which of these two is grammatically correct ?

 

[bhaisahab]

Without the article before "Central Park" both are grammatical.

 

[Rover_KE]

They each need a question mark to be grammatical.

Also correct is "The car which/that passed me was a BMW."

 

[Tdol]

Also correct is "The car which/that passed me was a BMW."

For me, this would work best if the speaker were in a car, riding bike,etc.

I hadn't really considered that but I see your point. If I were in another car, then the BMW passed/went past me. However if I were on foot, I would say that the car went past me.

"Passing" can be taken to mean "overtaking" which really only refers to a car overtaking another car/lorry/motorbike.
