that we add on various endings on some verbs in one dialect that we dont in others. A couple of the verbs
that are irregular in British English are burn, learn, and smell. These words are all regular in American.
English. For example:
BE: The garden smelt of roses.
AE: The garden smelled of roses. (regular)
