hi. can you please explain to me the difference between for example: learned and learnt? 'i learned something today' or is it learnt? 'i dreamt something last night' or is it dreamed? perhaps there are some more obvious examples that make it look easier. |

i'd say you use learned when you can't actually say you've learnt something. like you were learning but didn't learn anything :) and learnt when you actually learnt something..maybe :D |

ah nice one. that's it. T-forms include: burnt, clapt, crept, dealt, dreamt, dwelt, felt, leant, leapt, learnt, meant, spelt, smelt, spilt, spoilt, stript, vext The t-forms with a vowel change are still very common in modern English. In fact, crept, dealt, felt and meant are the only accepted forms. In the case of dreamt and leapt, although dreamt and leapt are still quite common and acceptable in both written and spoken English, the regular forms dreamed and leaped seem to be more popular in modern usage. hence the confusion. thanks unabomber. i'm sure qrter has something more to add soon. thanks qrter. |

bloody irregular verbs. id rather just say "bed, havd, god, maked" instead of "was, had, went, made" the -d thing works for me! |

i was right! dutch people speak english better than english people. over here, we forgot about grammar and spelling years ago. |

oh god I could've never explained it.. I've probably being using it incorrectly too. |
||||||||
|

|
|
"being using it".. oh god.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
isn't really matter. we still loved yous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
haha. sweet consolation for me then ;) but no worries. There's hardly a 'wrong' way to use either form then, just some are considered more modern. Check unabomber's link if you want. i'd go with whatever sounds most obvious, i guess. we're all learning today. yay! and yay for the english language. it's beatiful. |

Sometimes I'm ashamed to ask things like this one Goran. Well, though, I used to wonder things for ages and before or after I got the answer I needed without asking to someone.. That's because other people made the question before me like in this case! Anyway, if I'll need help again, I'll probably bump this thread or something, as the title is "qrter". It catches the attention :) |

I MEANT I never made a thread like this one to ask stuff about my english's troubles. And when I had doubts (like in this case) someone else solved my problems by making questions I've been wondering for ages. |
