覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
interrupts は原形 interrupt に三人称単数現在の -s を付けた形です。主語が he、she、it や単数名詞のとき、He interrupts me のように使います。inter-「間に」+ rupt「破る」から、会話や作業の流れを途中で断つイメージです。interrupt someone と interrupt a meeting の両方が使え、過去形 interrupted と混同しないようにしましょう。
Interrupts is the base verb interrupt plus the third-person singular present ending -s. Use it when the subject is he, she, it, or one singular noun: “He interrupts me,” or “The alarm interrupts the lesson.” Break interrupt into inter-, “between,” and a root related to rupture, “break.” The image is a break inserted into the middle of a conversation or activity. The verb can take either a person or an event as its object: interrupt the speaker and interrupt the meeting are both natural. Contrast interrupts with interrupted, the regular past form, and interrupting, the -ing form.
例文

そのアラームは毎朝授業を中断させます。
A loud noise interrupts the speaker at the start of the event.

interrupts の語源・成り立ち Etymology
interrupts は interrupt の活用形で、語源はラテン語 interrumpere。inter-「間に」+ rumpere「破る」で、「流れを途中で断ち切る」が原義だから「割り込む・中断させる」になる。関連語に rupture, corrupt がある。
Interrupts is the third-person singular present form of interrupt, created by adding -s. Interrupt comes from Latin interrumpere, composed of inter-, “between,” and rumpere, “to break.” It therefore developed from the idea of breaking into the middle of something or breaking its continuity. The related Latin participial stem rupt- also appears in rupture and disruption. Modern English applies the verb to speech, lessons, work, signals, and other activities whose normal flow is temporarily stopped.
