You've asked: "ok i hv aprob with a sentance
isit
the opportunity pass me by
or
the opportunity passes me by??
pls help..thanks so much"
My proofreading: "OK, I have a problem with a sentance. Is it 'the opportunity pass me by,' or 'the opportunity passes me by'?"
This depends on your tense being future, present or past.
Past: The opportunity passed by me.
Present: The opportunity passes by me.
Future: The opportunity will pass me by.

Your English problem extends far beyond this English assignment.
You spelling is wanting and you are definitely having a problem grasping basic sentence structure. I will use both of your parts of your query in a grammatically correct sentence.
1. I won't let the opportunity pass me by.
2. I should do it before the opportunity passes me by.
Please re-phrase your question so that we can help you.

It you are speaking in a future tense ie:
I should hurry before the opportunity passes me by.
Or
Perhaps I should hurry before I let the opportunity pass me by.
It depends on the helper words that accompany the sentence.

Haha, that dude 'proofread' your sentence and didn't even correct the spelling of SENTENCE, and he's looking down his nose at you?! The opportunity passes me by is the correct grammar.

it's either passed, as the man says, or passes, if it occurs in the present tense.

Passes. "Opportunity" is singular. Like, "the man eats", not "the man eat".
