覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
came は come「来る」の不規則な過去形で、come に -ed を付けません。発音も come /kʌm/ に対して came /keɪm/ と母音が変わります。came here、came to my house、came late の形で、「話し手側や目的地へ来た過去の移動」と結び付けて覚えます。
Came is the irregular past tense of come, so do not form it as “comed.” Notice the vowel change in both spelling and sound: come is pronounced /kʌm/, while came is /keɪm/. Attach the form to clear past-time expressions and destination patterns, such as came yesterday, came here, came to my house, and the bus came late. Unlike went, which focuses on movement away from a viewpoint, came often presents movement toward the speaker, the listener, or the place being discussed.
例文
My friend came to my house.
友だちが私の家に来ました。
The bus came late.
バスは遅れて来ました。
She came here yesterday.
彼女は昨日ここに来ました。

came の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 cuman（来る）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *kwemaną に遡る。ラテン語 venire（来る）とも印欧祖語で同根。過去形 came は古英語 cōm から。関連語: come, welcome（wel=よく＋come＝よく来た）。「移動して近づく」が基本義。
"Eleventh" comes from Old English number forms, while "hour" came into English through Old French from Latin "hora," from Greek "hora." Related words include "horology" and "horoscope." The phrase became famous through the Bible, where workers hired at the eleventh hour arrive very late, so it came to mean something happening at the last possible moment.
