Chess Rules and Tips
The En Passant Move
"It is a special pawn capture that can only occur immediately after a pawn moves two ranks forward from its starting square and an enemy pawn that could have captured it had it only moved forward only one square. The opponent captures the just-moved pawn "as it passes" through the first square."
If the pawn is not captured immediately after the opponent makes the first move then the ability to make this move is Lost.
