Usage notes
- Use 'passare' for time passing, not 'trascorrere' (more formal/literary).
- In compound tenses, use 'essere' for intransitive senses (e.g., 'sono passato'), 'avere' for transitive (e.g., 'ho passato il libro').
- Avoid 'passare' for 'to spend time' with people—use 'trascorrere' or 'stare con' instead.
