覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 buy「買う」が過去形・過去分詞では不規則に bought となります。綴りは大きく変わり、発音も buy /baɪ/ から bought /bɔːt/ へ変化します。buy–bought–bought を一組で覚え、bought a pen、bought tickets のように購入した物を直後に置く場面を思い浮かべましょう。
Treat buy–bought–bought as one complete set because the change is irregular. The spelling changes substantially, and the pronunciation moves from /baɪ/ in buy to /bɔːt/ in bought. Connect the form with a completed purchase: bought a pen, bought some bread, or bought tickets. Unlike buy, which can describe a present habit or future decision, bought places the purchase in the past or combines with have to form a perfect tense.
例文
I bought a new pen.
私は新しいペンを買いました。
She bought some bread this morning.
彼女は今朝パンを少し買いました。
We bought tickets for the movie.
私たちはその映画のチケットを買いました。

bought の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 bycgan（買う）と、その過去形 bohte に由来します。現代英語の bought は、この古い過去形が音や綴りの変化を経て残った不規則形です。buy–bought–bought と変化し、buyer も同じ語族です。
Bought is inherited as the past-tense and past-participle form of buy. Buy comes from Old English bycgan, whose past form was bohte. That older past form underwent changes in sound and spelling and developed into modern bought, so bought is an inherited irregular form rather than buy with the regular ending -ed.
