覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
regarded は regard に規則的な過去語尾 -ed を付けた形で、発音は /rɪˈɡɑːrdɪd/ のように /ɪd/ が加わる。regard A as B「AをBと見なす」が基本で、A was regarded as B なら「AはBと見なされた」。評価の視線を向ける場面で覚える。
Build regarded from regard + -ed. Because regard ends in the /d/ sound, the ending is pronounced as an extra syllable /ɪd/, not simply /d/. The most useful pattern is regard A as B: she regarded the idea as useful. Turn it into the passive and you get A was regarded as B: the plan was regarded as fair. Imagine directing an evaluating look toward something and deciding how to classify it. This helps connect the older sense of looking attentively with the modern sense of considering or judging.
