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.

Didn’t she tell you the truth? In passive voice
docker41 [41]

Passive voice creates a sentence in which the subject acquires an action. Was the truth not be told to you by her? is the passive voice.

<h3>What is Passive voice?</h3>

Passive voice creates a sentence in which the subject acquires an action. In contrast, the active voice produces a sentence in which the subject executes an action. Passive voice often produces unclear, less direct, wordy sentences, whereas active voice makes clearer, more concise sentences.

A passive voice construction exists as a grammatical voice construction that is discovered in many languages. In a clause with passive voice, the grammatical subject represents the theme or patient of the main verb – that exists, the person or thing that undergoes the action or maintains its state changed.

Was the truth not be told to you by her?

This exists an interrogative sentence.

The subject performing a specific action or verb reaches first in the SVO pattern's active voice.

The SVO pattern's passive voice provides the verb or action performed by the object to the subject that occurs first.

To move from active to passive voice in a sentence:

1. Insert the direct object of the active sentence into the subject position.

2. Insert the subject of the active sentence into a sentence that begins with the preposition by.

3. Change the main verb's form and integrate it with a version of the auxiliary verb be.
