I always thought it was the former, but saw a teacher write it the latter way. Please clarify. August 17, 2012 5:02 am at 5:02 am #891898 smartcookieMember Haaaaiiiifa girl? Where are you when we need you? Funny, I have the same question. August 17, 2012 5:07 am at 5:07 am #891899 WIYMember Learnt is correct as is learned. Heres some other examples I found on google (ps. Google is very smart) August 17, 2012 1:08 pm at 1:08 pm #891900 haifagirlParticipant As WIY said, both are correct. However, in his examples, the first is generally used in the U.S. and the second in England.
