A past week refers to the most recent week. If this is the fourth week of July, the “past” week would be the third week of July.

The “last week” refers to the last week in a series. If the fourth week of July is the last, or final of four weeks of July, the current week would be the last week of July. (Clause the Fourth Week was cancelled earlier that week).

What is the meaning of “Last week” and “past week” if the implication is that the “past week” is the last of all weeks up to now?

How do you define the past week by any other definition? Unless I was in say, the first week of August, in which case “past week” would describe the “last week” of July.

Example:

Last week it was raining heavily. What can I do?
