    I dreamed a dream! ♪

    I always thought you used -ed as a suffix to denote the past participle of an action and -t as a suffix to denote the results of of that action. Like: I burned the toast and now I have burnt toast; as he knelt at the alter, his brother kneeled beside him; or, there was a word spelt across the blackboard so I spelled it in my notebook so I wouldn't forget.

    I honestly wouldn't know? I was just trying to point out that it looks messy saying soemthing like "I viewed the mountains, it was a beautiful view," instead of "the view of the mountains was beautiful." Or whatever
