覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
drag「引きずる」の過去形・過去分詞です。短母音＋子音で終わるため g を重ねて -ed を付け、dragged となり、語末の -ed は /d/ と発音します。was dragged across the floor のような受け身なら「床を引きずられた」と覚えましょう。
Begin with the base verb drag, meaning to pull something along a surface. Because drag is a stressed one-syllable word ending in a single consonant after a short vowel, the final g is doubled before -ed: drag becomes dragged. The -ed ending is pronounced /d/ because the base ends in the voiced sound /g/. In passive patterns such as The bag was dragged across the floor, the subject receives the action, giving the Japanese sense 「引きずられた」. Remember the useful combinations drag across, drag into, and drag out of a room.
例文

dragged の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古ノルド語 draga（引く）または古英語 dragan が語源で、重いものを地面に沿って引っ張る動作を表す。関連語: draw（引く・描く）は同根で「引く」動作から「線を引く→描く」に派生。drag の過去形 dragged は「引きずられた」状態を示す。
Drag is of Scandinavian origin and is commonly connected with Old Norse draga, “to draw or pull,” with related forms also present in earlier Germanic languages. Its physical sense of pulling something heavy along a surface remains central in modern English. Dragged is produced by adding the regular past ending -ed, with the final g doubled according to English spelling convention. Depending on the sentence, it functions as either a simple past form or a past participle.
