覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Ellen は女性名なので、文中では通常 Ellen と大文字で始めます。Helen、Elena、Eleanor などと結び付け、「人を呼ぶ名前」として覚えましょう。Ellen organized ... や I asked Ellen ... のように、主語・目的語の位置に置かれ、冠詞を付けないのが基本です。
Remember Ellen as a person’s name, not as a common noun. It is therefore normally capitalized, even though the dictionary headword may appear in lowercase. Connect it with the related names Helen, Elena, and Eleanor, which makes its role easier to recognize. In sentences, Ellen can be the subject in “Ellen organized the event” or the object in “I called Ellen.” A personal name usually appears without a or the when it identifies a particular person.
