覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
worked は work「働く・作業する」に -ed を付けた規則的な過去形・過去分詞です。work の語末 /k/ は無声音なので -ed は /t/ と発音し、全体は /wɜːrkt/ です。worked yesterday、worked at a cafe、worked for three hours のように、場所・時・期間と組み合わせて覚えます。
Learn the frame "I forgot my ..." so you can use it with many words: I forgot my book, I forgot my bag, I forgot my homework. "Forgot" is the past form of "forget," so the shape of the word is worth noticing. It is also different from "I didn't do my homework," which has a stronger meaning.
例文
I worked yesterday.
私は昨日働きました。
He worked at a cafe.
彼はカフェで働きました。
We worked for three hours.
私たちは3時間働きました。

worked の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 wyrcan／weorc（労働・作品）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *werką に遡る。ギリシャ語 ergon（仕事）と同根。関連語: work（仕事）、workshop（作業場）。「力を使って何かを作り出す」が原義で、機能する・うまくいくという意味にも広がった。
Work comes from Old English weorc, “labor, action, or something produced,” and the related verb wyrcan, “to do or make.” These forms belong to a wider Germanic word family and are also distantly related to Greek ergon, “work.” Worked is the regular English past-tense and past-participle form, created by adding -ed; after the voiceless /k/, that ending is pronounced /t/.
