I am now trying to write a book set in America (under a different name) and I am coming up against problems. Do people in America always say "lighted", as in, "He lighted the fire", or can I say "He lit the fire"?
Is "dreamt" the past tense of the verb "to dream", or do I have to say, "He dreamed"?
I've just recently read an online novel where the author uses "drug" as the past tense of the verb "to drag". E.g. He drug him through the doorway. That, surely, cannot be correct.
