What is the meaning of 过?
In dictionary the meaning is "to cross / to go over / to pass (time)", but I can't translate a sentence ending with 过, it doesn't fit with the others words in sentence...

It depends on how you use it.
The word “过" means "to cross" when it used in the phrase 过河,过桥.etc
The single chinese can be used with another chinese,then form a new phrase.A little similar to the compound in English.
eg,过年,过节,=have the festival
过时=old-fashion 过来=come here 过去=come there
过程=the process (too many to lay out,you can buy a dictionary.)
If you use the single word “过”in daily life.
When you pass your exam,you can say"我过了”
Yeah,you also can use it to means time has passed, eg:过了明天=After tomorrow,过了四点=After 4 a'clock.
..........Perhaps you shoud write the whole phrase of 过,it is commonly used in life.But it has different meanings when used in different phrases.
我爱过你=I loved you,but not now.
