Learn brought as part of the full irregular pattern bring–brought–brought; it does not take the regular form “bringed.” The letters gh are silent, and the word is pronounced /brɔːt/ in standard British English, with a similar vowel in many other accents. Connect the meaning with movement toward a destination: yesterday you brought your book here, or you brought lunch to school. Compare brought with took: brought commonly views the movement toward the relevant place, while took often views it away from a starting point.

brought の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 bringan（運ぶ）の過去形。ゲルマン祖語 *bringaną に由来し、「手元に持ってくる」が原義。bring-brought-brought と不規則変化する。同根語の German bringen も同じ意味を保つ。「ある場所へ携えて来る」という動作の核心は古英語から不変。
Brought is the inherited past tense and past participle of bring. Bring comes from Old English bringan, “to carry or bring,” and is related to other Germanic verbs, including German bringen. Its unusual modern spelling reflects historical sound changes in the past form rather than the addition of the regular -ed ending. The core sense of carrying something to a destination has remained stable.
