While in company tonight a discussion arose over the following sentance, "They listened in class and learned ".
Some said it was grammatically incorrect while others said it was correct!
Can anyone clarify it for me please?

It wasn't any class from my old school anyway cos nobody ever listened and we certainly never learned much.

Lol. It's 'sentence' anyway. And grammer should be grammar. Start with that stuff this week and we'll discuss the bigger sentence next week with you. :pac:

Genuine question, why on god great earth, would you discuss a sentence like that?

They listened in class and learnt is more common but the sentence is cromulent.
