I am sorry to hear your grandfather's pass away.
Is this sentence correct, can "pass away" be used as a noun.
I am sorry to hear your grandfather's death. (Are there other words that can replace death here)
Thanks.
English question, please help?

No. It's not correct.
"To pass away" is a euphemism for "to die".
Passing is considered a noun.

Neither sentences are grammatically correct. It would be, 'I am sorry to hear that your Grandfather has passed away' or 'I am sorry to hear about your Grandfather's passing'. 'Passing' is the noun.
But it would sound a lot better if you just said 'I am sorry to hear about your Grandfather' or 'I am sorry to hear your sad news'.

You can say
I am sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away.
I am sorry to hear of your grandfathers’ death.
The first one is a bit nicer though.
I am sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away.
I am sorry to hear of your grandfathers’ death.

It's past tense. You should have been paying attention in third grade.

And there are many more euphemisms - left us, gone to a better place, gone to live with the angels/god/Jesus, gone to be with another dead loved one who the listener knows is dead - Grandpa went to be with Alice (his deceased wife). Or just Grandpa passed. It is easier to say when the listeners know that he was elderly anyway. If a 20 year old dies in a car crash the language might be different.

It would be a lot better if you used passed away or grandfather has passed away.

'Passing away' is a rather twee euphemism, so personally, I'd say,
"I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather." or
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather died."
"I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather." or
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather died."

In any context which I can think of, "pass away" can only be used as a verb. "I am sorry to hear that your grandfather has passed away" is how I would write it in Britain. Because it is rather sad and formal and solemn, I feel that adding "that" makes it feel better.
Otherwise; "I am sorry to hear that your grandfather has died". or: "I am sorry to hear of your grandfather's death". You could write "I am sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing", but that feels rather "literary" and might be appropriate if you had not heard about the death until some weeks after the death.

Pass away is the usual expression, but it is a verb, and needs to match the past tense already in place. Grandfather's is a contraction of grandfather has, and has passed is the correct verb form.
