覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
picked は原形 pick に規則的な過去語尾 -ed を付けた過去形・過去分詞です。pick は k で終わるので綴りは子音を重ねず picked、語尾は有声音を挟まず /t/ と発音します。picked a book「本を選んだ」、was picked「選ばれた」の能動・受動を対で覚えます。
Begin with the base verb pick, then add the regular past ending -ed: pick becomes picked, with no doubled consonant. Because pick ends in the voiceless sound /k/, the ending is pronounced /t/, so picked sounds like “pikt,” not “pick-id.” Learn two sentence patterns together: She picked a flower means she selected it, while the flower was picked means it was selected or removed. This active-passive pair makes the grammatical role clear and keeps the form connected to its base verb.
例文
She picked a red flower.
彼女は赤い花を選びました。
I picked this book for you.
あなたのためにこの本を選びました。
The teacher picked three students.
先生は3人の生徒を選びました。

picked の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 pician（突く、選び取る）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *pik-（尖ったもので突く）に遡る。尖った道具で一つずつ取る動作から「選ぶ」の意味に発展した。関連語: pick（選ぶ）、picky（好みがうるさい）。
Picked is the regular past and past-participle form of pick, created by adding -ed. Pick is historically associated with actions such as piercing, pecking, or taking something with a pointed tool, and it developed the sense of taking one item from among others. The modern selection sense therefore reflects the idea of taking out a particular person or thing individually.
