Note
A plural only the noun can form. The adjective uses of past, as in past events or two weeks past, never take an -s. The time gone by is usually treated as one undivided stretch, so the plural appears mainly when several people or places each have a history of their own: troubled pasts, the suspects' pasts. For one shared history, the singular stays natural: their common past.
