There are several versions of English used internationally. The two predominant versions are the US and the UK versions of English. Most English speaking countries outside of the US tend to follow the UK grammar rules/spelling.
Some Examples of United Kingdom Versions:
Burnt
Maths
Programme
Colour (and many other words ending in "our")
Aluminium
(and many more)
Some Examples of United States Versions:
Burned
Math
Program
Color (and many other words ending in "or")
Aluminum
(and many more)
There are other small grammatical subtleties and slight spelling differences (such as punctuation after quotation marks), but when you are first learning it probably does not make much difference. Deciding which you should use in the long term simply depends on which you prefer (since English is not your first language). But when traveling or working in an English speaking country, it would be best to use the local version.
I hope this helps!

We have two types of verbs.
Regular verb and irregular verb.
Regular verb ends with "ed" whiles irregular doesn't but changes completly.
So burnt could be classify as irregular verb.
And burned could be also classify as regular verb.
Examples of irregular:
Go Went
Be Was/were
Come Came
Become Became
Eat Aet
Cut Cut
Put Put
Fall Fell
Examples of regual verb:
Simple | Past
Work Worked
Learn Learned
Walk Walked
Plan Planned
Paint Painted
Post Posted
Share Shared
Arrive Arrived
Move Moved
So you can use burnt or burned as past tense of burn.
