覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
ここでは名詞として、wove paper「簀目のない滑らかな紙」の wove を覚えます。織物のように均一な細目をもつ製法名ですが、通常は wove 単独より wove paper と組み合わせます。一方、動詞 weave「織る」の過去形 wove も同じ綴りなので、paper が続けば紙、主語の後なら「織った」と文型で見分けましょう。
In this entry, connect wove with wove paper, the smooth paper used for printing, writing, and stationery. Its fine, even surface suggested a woven texture, although it lacks the conspicuous parallel lines of laid paper. The most useful contrast is therefore wove paper versus laid paper. Be alert to grammar because wove is also the simple past of weave: “She wove a basket” describes an action, while “The invitation was printed on wove paper” names a paper type. The noun-related use will usually stand directly before paper or occur in a printing context.
