覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rests は rest に -s を付けた三人称単数現在形で、主語が he、she、it のときに使います。語末 /t/ の後なので -s は /s/ と発音し、/rests/ となります。She rests after lunch. や rests before the race のように、活動を止めて体や心を休ませる習慣的な場面と結び付けましょう。
Take the base verb rest and add -s because the subject is third-person singular: he rests, she rests, or the runner rests. Since rest ends with the voiceless /t/ sound, the ending is pronounced /s/, producing /rests/. Picture a repeated routine rather than one completed event: she rests after lunch, he rests on Sundays, or an athlete rests before a race. The central image is movement or work stopping so that the body or mind can relax and recover.
例文
She rests after lunch.
彼女は昼食のあとに休みます。
He rests for an hour on Sundays.
彼は日曜日に1時間休みます。
The runner rests before the next race.
そのランナーは次のレースの前に休みます。

rests の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 restare（止まる）が古フランス語 rester を経て英語に。re-（後ろに）+ stare（立つ）で「立ち止まる→休む」。同根語に store（蓄える＝留め置く）、stable（安定した）がある。「動きを止めて静止する」が原義。
Rests is the third-person singular present form of rest, created by adding -s. English rest has been influenced by Old French rester, from Latin restare, meaning “to remain” or “stand back,” formed from re- and stare, “to stand.” Its history supports the basic image of stopping or remaining still, from which the familiar sense of pausing activity to recover developed.
