覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
washed は wash「洗う」の規則的な過去形・過去分詞です。語尾 -ed は /t/ と発音し、/wɒʃt/ または /wɑːʃt/。I washed my hands なら能動の過去、The towels were washed なら受け身です。wash dishes、wash clothes など「水で汚れを落とす」場面と結び付けます。
Washed is wash plus the regular ending -ed, but the ending is pronounced /t/, not as a separate syllable, because wash ends in the voiceless sound /ʃ/. Use it actively for a completed past action, as in “I washed my hands,” and as a past participle in passive or perfect constructions, as in “The towels were washed.” Build a practical scene around water and cleaning: washed the cups, washed the clothes, or washed before dinner. This keeps it distinct from wiped, which can mean cleaning by rubbing without water.
例文
I washed my hands before dinner.
夕食の前に手を洗いました。
She washed the cups after breakfast.
彼女は朝食のあとでカップを洗いました。
The towels were washed yesterday.
そのタオルは昨日洗われました。

washed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
washed は wash「洗う」に過去形・過去分詞の -ed が付いた形です。wash は古英語 wascan、さらにゲルマン祖語 *waskaną にさかのぼり、「水でぬらす」が核なので、ただ触るのでなく水で洗った意味になります。関連語は wash, wet。
Washed is the regular past tense and past participle of wash. Wash comes from Old English wascan and has Germanic origins, with the central sense of cleaning or wetting something with water. Modern English adds -ed to mark past time or the past participle. Because the base ends in the voiceless consonant /ʃ/, the written ending -ed is realized as the voiceless sound /t/ in washed.
