Grammar
strong and weak forms
I'm a Polish student and I have huge difficulties with that subject. I would like to find out in what context we use strong or weak forms, are there any instuctions which would help me?

Sorry-- what are those, in English? Strong (= irregular) verbs, like sit-sat-sat vs weak (= regular) verbs, like play-played-played ?

I think you mean verbs like burn, burnt, burnt or burn, burned, burned? You can usually choose the regular or irregular form as you please. Americans often prefer the regular forms of these verbs. There are cases where only the regular form is correct: a learned man. Here learned is used as an adjective and learnt is wrong.
