覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
shook は shake「震える・揺れる」の不規則過去形で、shake–shook–shaken と三段階で覚えます。現在形の /eɪ/ が過去形では /ʊ/ に変わり、綴りも -ed を付けません。the ground shook、her hands shook のように、過去に実際に起きた揺れを表します。
Learn the irregular sequence shake–shook–shaken rather than adding -ed. Shake has the vowel sound /eɪ/, while shook has /ʊ/, as in book. Shook is the simple past form, so it places the trembling or movement in the past: the ground shook, the window shook, or her hands shook. Shaken is the past participle used with have or be. The same verb can be transitive, as in she shook the bottle, or intransitive, as in the building shook.
例文

Her hands shook before the speech.
スピーチの前に彼女の手は震えました。

shook の語源・成り立ち Etymology
shookはshakeの過去形で、古英語sceacan「激しく揺らす」にさかのぼるゲルマン系の語。『揺らす』が自分側に起これば『震える』となるので、「震えた」は語源どおりの意味変化。関連語はshake, shaky。
Shook is the inherited irregular past tense of shake. Shake goes back to Old English sceacan, meaning “to move rapidly” or “shake,” and belongs to the Germanic layer of English vocabulary. Its old vowel-changing pattern survives in the modern forms shake, shook, and shaken. The senses “cause something to move” and “tremble or move by itself” both developed from the same basic idea of rapid repeated motion.
