“过”itself usually means living over a period of time or passing through. In Chinese, characters usually are not used alone, but often in a word of several characters. For example, 经过/度过 means living through or going through or other similar meanings, 过程 means a process or procedure. However, in the case of 过得, 过 itself is a word. It's a verb here, meaning living life. 得 is an auxiliary word, it connects a verb/adj. and the modifiers after it. For example, 这小两口过得真幸福。 What a happy life this couple is living. 最近过得怎么样？ How are you doing lately? Notice that 过 has other meanings than living life or spending time or passing through. For example, 炒菜时盐加得过多或过少都不好。 It's not good to add too much or too little salt when cooking. There is an idiom called 过犹不及, which means going too far is as bad as not going far enough. One last thing, I think 过得去 is non-standard grammar. It has several usages, such as A:路上这么多车，你过得去吗？ B:能过去。 here A is asking B if he can cross the road, considering there're too many cars. A could also ask "你能过去吗？", which is the same meaning. A:您儿子这么聪明，学习成绩肯定很好。 B:还过得去。 A is complimenting that B's son is clever, and must be good at study. B says it's just OK, not too good not too bad. B could also say "还行" or "一般"。

Hi, first, I need to correct Johnny's mistake. “过得”不是动宾结构，“过”是动词，“得”是助词，是 “过”的补语，“过得”是趋势补语句式，结构是：过得+ 形容词或方向性词 我们经常在口语中说： 你过得怎样 （=你生活的怎样） 小明过得好还是不好？ 生活还过得去吧！

Hi,Damien additional opinion： 过得去 it 's ok / not bad eg: 你最近还好吗 how have you been? 还过得去/还不错啊 Not bad.

“过”是动词，“过得”组成动宾结构，后面一般接形容词，表示“过得怎么样？”“过得如何？” 例如：你最近过得还好吗？ 我过得很幸福 等等

过的 的意思就是生活,也有问好的意思 和how are you差不多
