Passing chords are transitional chords that connect the tonic (I) to the subdominant (IV) chord, creating smooth harmonic movement; in F major, the progression moves from I (F major) through II (G minor), III (A minor), and IV (A# major), with the IV chord being a major chord that can be played in different inversions, and this same chord progression can be transposed to F# major by adjusting the chord numbers accordingly.
