Is learnt not a valid word? Have you any evidence or proof?

Answer 1

learnt

Past tense of learn
Past participle of learn

Answer 2

Learnt is the past participle, past tense of learn and is to be found in may dictionaries as a correct word. You will be able to check this at Onelook General Dictionary

Answer 3

It is acceptable as a spelling outside North America, where the standard 'learned' still prevails.
There are others - like burnt - which can be used both as the past simple and past participle form, but may not be found in US dictionaries.

Answer 4

I kept writing 'learned' but my friend asked me about this saying she would say/write 'learnt', so I checked with the dictionary and they are both valid

Answer 5

Briefly, yes it is a valid word. It's one of the two past participle of the verb Learn (the other being learned)

Burn is another verb which has two such past participles. (Burnt and burned).

There are others too but I can't think of them right now.

Americans tend to say learned/burned and Brits tend to use the other form.

Answer 6

It is valid as a past tense of the verb 'to learn' as in 'I LEARNT to tie my shoelaces' however kids are increasingly using it as a tense for the verb 'to teach' i.e. 'she learnt me to tie my shoelaces'... this is NOT valid and also drives me up the wall as it should be 'she TAUGHT me to tie my shoelaces'

Answer 7

It's valid alright, according to my source, but traditional grammar dictates it be spelled 'learned'. So if you're writing a letter, go ahead. If you're writing a thesis, make it 'ed' on the end.
