覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
threw は throw「投げる」の不規則過去形で、-ed は付けません。発音は /θruː/ で、through と同音ですが、threw は動作を表す動詞、through は「〜を通って」などを表す前置詞・副詞です。threw the ball、threw a stone のように、投げた物を直後に置く形で覚えます。
Remember threw as the irregular past-tense form of throw; it does not take the regular ending -ed. Both threw and through are pronounced /θruː/, but their jobs differ: threw is a past-tense verb, while through is commonly a preposition or adverb. Build the memory around a completed action: yesterday he threw the ball, she threw away the paper, or I threw a stone into the river. The pattern throw today, threw yesterday makes the change in the vowel easy to retain.
例文
He threw the ball.
彼はボールを投げました。
I threw a stone into the river.
私は石を川に投げました。
She threw the paper into the trash can.
彼女はその紙をごみ箱に投げ入れました。

threw の語源・成り立ち Etymology
threw は throw の過去形で、語源は古英語 þrāwan「ねじる・回す・投げる」です。もとは物をひねって勢いよく放つ感覚があり、そこから「投げた」という意味になりました。関連語は throw, overthrow。
Threw is the inherited past-tense form of throw. Throw comes from Old English þrāwan, which meant “to twist, turn, or whirl” and could describe forceful rotating movement. Its meaning later developed toward propelling something with the hand or arm. The vowel change from throw to threw reflects an old Germanic pattern of forming past tenses internally rather than by adding the modern regular ending -ed.
