覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
took は take の不規則な過去形で、語尾に -ed は付きません。take /teɪk/ に対して took /tʊk/ と母音が変わる点を、take a book → took the book のように現在と過去の組で覚えましょう。物を「手に取った」場面では took the book、took my hand など、目的語を直後に置きます。
Took is the irregular past form of take, so it does not use the usual -ed ending. Notice the vowel change: take is pronounced /teɪk/, while took is /tʊk/. Learn the pair through a simple time contrast: “I take a book” becomes “I took the book.” In physical contexts, took commonly appears directly before an object, as in “took the last cookie” or “took my hand.” Picture the completed action of reaching for something and having it in your hand.
例文
He took the book from the shelf.
彼は棚からその本を取りました。
Mina took the last cookie on the plate.
ミナは皿の上の最後のクッキーを取りました。
The child took my hand before crossing the street.
その子どもは道を渡る前に私の手を取りました。

took の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 tacan（つかむ）に由来し、古ノルド語 taka の影響を受けた。「手でつかみ取る」が原義で、そこから「受け取る・連れて行く」など多義に発展。関連語: take, mistake（mis-=誤って＋take）。物理的な「つかむ」動作が抽象的な意味へ広がった語。
Took is the inherited past-tense form of take. Take entered Middle English from Old Norse taka, meaning “to take, grasp, or seize,” and it also interacted with related forms already used in English. Its irregular past form developed through historical sound change rather than the addition of the modern regular ending -ed. The physical idea of grasping later expanded into many abstract uses.
