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。

Sleep comes from Old English slaepan, and over comes from Old English ofer. In this phrase, over carries the sense of passing through or beyond a night. So sleep over developed the meaning of staying somewhere for the night instead of going home, like getting through the night in that place.
