覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
prepares は prepare の三人称単数現在形。語尾が無声音ではない /r/ 音の後なので、-s は /z/ と発音します。he、she、単数名詞を主語にして、prepare lunch、prepare a lesson、prepare for a presentation の形で覚えると、目的語を取る用法と prepare for の違いも定着します。
Connect “prepares” directly with the base verb “prepare.” It is the third-person singular present form used after he, she, it, or a singular noun, and its final -s is pronounced /z/. Learn it through two common patterns: “She prepares lunch,” where something is made ready, and “He prepares for a presentation,” where a person gets ready for an event. The prefix pre- also appears in words connected with doing something beforehand, which reinforces the central idea of readiness.
例文
She prepares lunch every morning.
彼女は毎朝昼食を用意します。
The teacher prepares the lesson before class.
先生は授業の前に教材を準備します。
He prepares carefully for each presentation.
彼は毎回の発表に向けて入念に準備します。

prepares の語源・成り立ち Etymology
prepares は prepare の活用形で、古フランス語を経てラテン語 praeparare に由来します。prae- は『前もって』、parare は『整える』なので、『前もって整える』から『準備する』となり、preparation や apparatus も同じ語根を持ちます。
“Prepares” is the third-person singular present form of “prepare,” formed by adding -s. “Prepare” entered English through Old French from Latin praeparare, composed of prae-, meaning “before,” and parare, meaning “to make ready.” Its underlying sense is therefore “to make ready beforehand.” Words such as “preparation” belong to the same immediate word family.
