Your "US" sentence is "correct" in that it would not be considered odd if used colloquially/informally, but it is incorrect grammar. The one you call "UK" is correct grammar, in the US or the UK.
- leephillips 5y ago“I already saw this movie” is incorrect? Why do you say that?
- viciousvoxel 5y agoIt really depends on the context -- it is acceptable as informal speech in the US. It comes down to the socioelect you intend to learn. So perhaps "I already saw x" is not incorrect per se (from a Descriptivist point of view), but it sounds very colloquial and would not be found in formal writing.
