"I passed the salt."

"I want to live in the past."

The first is with reference to an action, it is the perfect active verb form for the present active verb 'pass':

I pass...

I passed...

Whereas the second, past, is in relation to time, and is only used as a noun or adjectival noun:

The past.

A past experience.
