#36: I Dreamt a Dream
Do you use the word “dreamt” or “dreamed” as the past tense of “dream?” Your first choice of this past tense word could depend on where you’re from. Both “dreamt” and “dreamed” are grammatically correct. “Dreamt” is considered the British version and “dreamed” is the American version. But let’s talk about “dreamt” for a second.

“Dreamt” and its variations, like “undreamt,” are the only words in the English language that end with the letters “mt.” The sound of two consonants together can make pretty unique sounds. “Dreamt” is a known exception. So, whichever variation of the word you use, just remember that most people don’t appreciate long-winded stories about your “crazy” dreams.
