One Small Grammar

Question

Pero nos movíamos muy lentamente y no nos acercamos a la orilla hasta pasado el faro de Winterton, donde la costa hace una entrada hacia el oeste en dirección a Cromer.

1. In my mind after hasta it should be pasar, So why here is pasado ?This is one sentence from LAS AVENTURAS DE ROBINSON CRUSOE.

Answer 1

pasado its past tense because you are talking about the past,what you were doing

Answer 2

In this case, "pasado" means "after" or "past."

The sentence translates as follows:

"But we moved very slowly and we did not approach the shore until after the Winterton lighthouse, where the coast makes an entry westward towards Cromer."
