Learn Dutch: Jullie misten het college, want jullie feestten gisteravond. - You missed the lecture, because you partied last night.

The infinitive is feesten (to party). To form the simple past for a plural subject like jullie, you take the stem (feest) and add -ten. Because the stem already ends in a 't', you end up with two t's next to each other: feest + -ten = feestten.

The infinitive is missen. Why is the past tense misten with only one 's' instead of 'missten'?

Dutch spelling rules state that words almost never end in a double consonant, so the stem of missen is simply mis. The final letter 's' is in 't kofschip, meaning it gets a voiceless ending. Since the subject is plural (jullie), we add -ten to the stem, giving us misten.

Why does the verb stay in its normal place after want?

The word want (because) connects two main sentences together without changing their word order. If you used omdat (which also means because), it would push the verb to the very end of the sentence: ... omdat jullie gisteravond feestten.

Does het college refer to a school or university like it does in English?
