-ED/-T |
You have learnt your lessons only in UK-influenced countries; you’ve
learned them in the US. There are several common verbs that often have
“T” endings in Britain which seem a little quaint and poetic in American
English, where we prefer “-ED.” Other examples: “dreamt/dreamed,”
“dwelt/dwelled,” “leant/leaned,” “leapt/leaped,” and “spelt/spelled.”
However, the following alternatives are both common in the US:
“burned/burnt” and “kneeled/knelt.”
