Why do some words have two past tense forms (e.g. “dreamed” vs. “dreamt”)?

English

This is essentially language change at work. Do you know how Shakespeare sometimes sounds "weird" to us? that's because English has changed since then.

Language change is not abrupt, but gradual, and while the change takes place sometimes two forms are used: so while it is likely that in years to come only dreamed will be correct, and in the past only "dreamt", currently the change is not complete and both are correct.

Tell whether each sentence is independent clause or dependent clause?
blagie [28]
6, 8, and 9 are all dependent clauses because you would not be able to say them on their own and make sense. They begin with words that make the listener expect more information in that sentence. For example if I just said "If I was taller" and said nothing else, the sentence wouldn't make much sense, so that makes it dependent.

7 and 10 are independent because you can say them on their own and it would make sense. I could say "I am taller" or "I wish I were taller', and the sentence would be complete

BRIDGETT SUMNER, M.A. eNotes educator | CERTIFIED EDUCATOR

Edwards delivered his famous sermon during a revival movement intended to reinvigorate church attendance and bring more converts into the faith. He recognized that people were drifting away from church and relegating their faith to the background of their lives. The entire sermon is designed to shock listeners and instill a sense of urgency in their return to religion.

Edwards likely believed that Hell was an abstract notion to many of his listeners, and so he loaded the sermon with horrifying sense imagery to try to convince the congregation that Hell was a concrete place of eternal tortures.
