Only a verb has a past tense, so for example, you can say I eat pickles, in the present, or I ate pickles, in the past. Before is not a verb, it is an adverb. So, I ate pickles before I ate Oranges. Before never changes, unlike verbs. Even though it does tell us that something happened in the past (earlier than something else) it is not a past tense.
