English Usage - burned, burnt - English editing.

Both burned and burnt are used for the past tense and past participle of burn and are equally correct. Burned is much more common for the past tense, e.g.: she burned her hand on the kettle; the church burned down in 1198. As a past participle, burned and burnt are equally common in British English, e.g.: she had burned herself on the wax; the place was burnt to a crisp, but burned is found elsewhere. When the participle is used as an adjective, however, burnt is somewhat commoner in all varieties of English: walls of burnt brick.
