Also, by "past" I think you mean "passed" ("past" is the time that has already happened, an hour ago, yesterday, a year ago, they're all 'the past'. "Passed" is the past tense of the verb "to pass", which is what usually happens with tests
[ examiners who give pass to any examinees with their bias or remarkable partiality rather than looking on their exact score are totally unacceptable. ]
Actually, I want to make a sentence with 'whether' as well as put 'gerund' in the beginning.
