    What’s the correct word: she “learned” so much or she “learnt” so much?

    I always thought it was the former, but saw a teacher write it the latter way.

    Please clarify.

    Learnt is correct as is learned. Heres some other examples I found on google (ps.

    Google is very smart)

    As WIY said, both are correct. However, in his examples, the first is generally used in the U.S. and the second in England.

    Though both are, indeed, correct, the ratio of usage of learned vs. learnt in American published works in the last 200 years, is more than 8 to 1 (using Ngram from google books).

    There’s a difference between British and American English in this regard.
