覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
leap「跳ぶ」の過去形・過去分詞で、母音が /iː/ から /ɛ/ に変わり、leap /liːp/ に対して leapt /lɛpt/ と発音します。規則形 leaped も正しい形です。leapt onto、leapt across、leapt high の組み合わせで、勢いよく跳んだ場面を覚えましょう。
Connect leapt directly to the base verb leap. The vowel changes in pronunciation: leap is /liːp/, while leapt is /lɛpt/. This irregular-looking form serves as both the past tense and past participle, although the regular form leaped is also standard. Learn it in movement patterns: leapt onto the table, leapt across a stream, and leapt high. Each suggests a sudden, energetic jump rather than an ordinary step. Seeing the final -t as the marker of past action helps distinguish leapt from the present-tense base form.
例文
The cat leapt onto the table.
猫はテーブルの上に跳び乗りました。
He leapt across the narrow stream.
彼は細い小川を跳び越えました。
The dancer leapt high during the final scene.
そのダンサーは最後の場面で高く跳び上がりました。

leapt の語源・成り立ち Etymology
leapt は leap の古い過去形で、古英語 hlēapan「跳ぶ・躍る」にさかのぼり、さらにゲルマン祖語の *hlaup- 系に連なります。関連語は leap, overleap。昔から「勢いよく宙へ飛ぶ」感覚が核にあるので、「跳ねた」の意味になります。
Leapt is a past-tense and past-participle form of leap. Leap descends from Old English hleapan, “to jump or run,” and is related to other Germanic forms built on a similar root. The past form with final -t developed historically alongside formations found in words such as slept and kept. Modern English also permits leaped, so leapt is not the only correct past form, though it remains common, particularly in British English.
