覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 receive に三人称単数現在の -s が付いた形で、語末が有声音 /v/ のため -s は /z/ と発音する。主語が he、she、it、単数名詞のときに使い、receive a letter、receive calls、receive a package のように「外から来た物・情報を受け取る」場面と結び付ける。綴りは receive の ei に注意。
Receives is the third-person singular present form of receive. Add -s when the subject is he, she, it, or a singular noun: “She receives a letter” and “The office receives calls.” Because receive ends in the voiced sound /v/, the final -s is pronounced /z/. Picture something coming toward one person or organization—a package, message, call, or payment—and being accepted. For spelling, retain the receive pattern with ei after c; do not confuse it with the differently spelled believe.
例文
She receives a letter every month.
彼女は毎月手紙を受け取ります。
The office receives many calls in the morning.
その事務所は午前中に多くの電話を受けます。
He receives the package at the front desk.
彼は受付でその荷物を受け取ります。

receives の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 recipere（re-「再び・戻して」＋ capere「取る」）が古フランス語 recevoir を経て英語に入った。「戻ってくるものを取る→受け取る」が原義。関連語：receipt（受領証）、receptive（受容的な）。
Receives is receive plus the third-person singular present ending -s. Receive came through Old French recevoir from Latin recipere, meaning “to take back” or “take in.” Recipere combines re-, with a sense of back or again, and capere, “to take.” Related forms such as receipt and reception preserve different parts of the same Latin word family while sharing the central idea of taking or accepting something that arrives.
