past is an adjective.
pass is a verb.

Time pass quickly.
Two years have passed since I met you last.

My youth is past.
Summer is past.

Are these collect which I change the 2words?
Time is past quickly.
Two yaers have been past since I met you.

My yough pass.
Summer pass.

I think they are not natural, but I don't know how different except the part of speech.
If you have some Idea, I hope you are willing to share yours.

I think the second sentence is correct. But the other three sould be like this...
・Time passes quickly.
・My youth has passed.
・Summer has passed.

Time〜 の文章は単純に現在形なんだけど三人称単数のSが必要なんですよぉ。あとの2つは時が過ぎ去ったみたいな感じだから現在完了がいいいと思いますよ!

If you want to use 'past' as an adjective, I think the possible way is like this...
I haven't seen you for the past two years.

My English is not perfect, but that's how I understand and I hope that can help you!
Oopsy! ドム・ドム-san has alredy post the answer! うぅん、自分のコメント消そうかとも思ったけどたぶん参考にできるとこはあるかと思うので残しときます〜
Thank you for sharing your idea.
It really helps me.
I compare past and pass about an adjecive.

Past can be just an adjective which modifies a noun just behind like "a past chairman"or"for the past two months".
It doesn't be an complemnt like " Summer is past".

I would like you to give me some idea.
Various examples:

Leave the past alone.
Don't dwell on the past. It is better to think about the present.

For the past two months, I have been very busy.
John is a past president of the club.


Summer has passed, fall came and went, and now it is winter.
The pain will pass.
Time passes by slowly when you are bored.
What do you do to pass the time?
The examples help me a lot.
I undersand the difference.
I actually use them in the future.

I plaied the piano in the past, but I have not plaied for 4years.
so, I try to do again.

The car which an actress was in passed. But I'm not sure who was in.
