覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
fought は fight「戦う」の不規則な過去形・過去分詞で、fighted とはしません。綴りは大きく変わりますが、発音は /fɔːt/ で gh は発音しません。fight–fought–fought を一組で覚え、fought bravely、fought an illness、fought for freedom のように、戦闘・試合・病気・主義の場面へ広げます。
Learn the irregular three-part pattern fight–fought–fought; the past form is never fighted. Although the spelling changes greatly, fought is pronounced /fɔːt/ in standard British English and /fɑːt/ or /fɔːt/ in common American pronunciations, with gh silent. Keep the central image of active struggle, then extend it beyond literal combat. Soldiers fought bravely, teams fought in a final, patients fought an illness, and campaigners fought for change. Notice the patterns fight against something, fight for a goal, and fight with someone. This cluster makes both the grammar and the range of meanings memorable.

fought の語源・成り立ち Etymology
fought は fight の過去形・過去分詞で、古英語 feohtan（戦う）にさかのぼります。ゲルマン祖語 *fehtan- に由来し、もとは「激しくぶつかる」感覚で、だから単なる動作でなく争って戦う意味になります。関連語は fight, fighter。
Fought is the inherited irregular past-tense and past-participle form of fight. Both forms descend from Old English feohtan, “to fight,” with past forms that already showed a different internal vowel. The verb belongs to the Germanic word stock and is related to forms reconstructed from Proto-Germanic. Its modern spelling preserves historical letters no longer pronounced: the gh is silent, and fought is pronounced as a single syllable ending in /t/.
