覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
gains は gain の三人称単数現在形で、主語が he、she、it や単数名詞なら「得る」を表します。gain に -s を加え、発音は /ɡeɪnz/ と濁ります。gain experience、gain customers、gain a profit のように、価値あるものを徐々に得る場面と結び付けましょう。名詞なら gain の複数形です。
Treat gains as gain plus the third-person singular ending -s. Use it when the subject is he, she, it, or one singular noun: “The shop gains customers.” The final -s is pronounced /z/, so the word sounds like “gainz.” Build a memory set from common combinations such as gain experience, gain customers, and gain a profit; all involve obtaining something useful or valuable. Also remember that gains can be a plural noun, as in “economic gains,” but the example sentences use it as a verb.
例文
The shop gains new customers every week.
その店は毎週新しい客を得ています。
She gains useful experience from the job.
彼女はその仕事から役に立つ経験を得ています。
The company gains a small profit from each sale.
その会社は販売ごとに少しの利益を得ています。

gains の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 gaigne（利益）から中英語に入った語で、ゲルマン祖語の「牧草地・狩り」を意味する語に遡る。「狩りで得た獲物→戦利品→利益」と意味が拡大。関連語：gain（動詞：得る）、regain（取り戻す）。努力して勝ち取るニュアンスがある。
Gain entered Middle English through Old French, from a Germanic source associated with pasture, hunting, or what was obtained through such activity. Its meaning developed toward profit, advantage, and the act of acquiring something. Gains is formed regularly by adding -s to gain. It serves both as the third-person singular present verb and as the plural of the noun gain.
