覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
presentations は presentation の規則的な複数形で、語末に -s を加え、発音は /z/ になります。present「提示する」から、人前に情報を差し出す行為・発表と結び付けましょう。give a presentation は一つの発表、listen to three presentations のように複数なら presentations を使います。
Presentations is the regular plural of presentation: add -s, pronounced /z/ after the final voiced sound. Connect it with the verb present, meaning to place information before an audience. One student may give a presentation, while a class may listen to several presentations. Useful collocations include prepare presentations, give presentations, and listen to presentations. The plural ending matters because the word refers to two or more separate talks or displays, not merely several slides within one talk. This connection between present and placing ideas before people keeps the meaning and spelling together.

presentations の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 praesentāre（目の前に差し出す）から古フランス語を経て英語に入った。prae-（前に）+ sentāre（置く）の構成。present（贈る・提示する）や presence（存在）と同根。人前に差し出す行為が「発表・提示」の意味になった。
Presentations is the plural of presentation. Presentation came through French from Latin praesentationem, related to praesentare, “to place before or present.” The Latin formation contains prae-, “before,” and the base behind present and presence. The concrete idea of bringing or placing something before others developed into the modern sense of formally showing or explaining information to an audience. The final -s marks the regular English plural.
