He stepped past George

Does "step past" mean "one stepping to stand before someone else" George, in this case?

Thanks

Hi Bushwaker,

Step past in my mind is like go after. But 'Ponerse por delante' para mí es el contrario. I think what you've written in Spanish is the opposite meaning.

Have a nice day -Buenas Tardes

To "step past" means to move past someone who is standing still. I don't speak Spanish.

Thanks. I beg your pardon, it has been an absolutely unintentional mistake. I was meaning "one stepping to stand before someone else" . Could it also mean that, or only to past before someone and go beyond?

Sorry again
