There are Dutch verbs that end in -n instead of the usual -en in the infinitive.

A high frequency verb that uses -n in the infinitive ending is doen, which means *to do

ik doe

jij doet

u doet

hij/zij/het doet

wij doen

jullie doen

zij doen

Another verb of this nature is the verb gaan = to go.

ik ga

jij gaat

u gaat

hij/zij/het gaat

wij gaan

jullie gaan

zij gaan

Verbs with a stem that ends in -d add the -t in the second and third person singular.

rijden = to drive

ik rijd/rij (the d may be written but it is not pronounced)

jij rijdt

u rijdt

hij/zij/het rijdt

wij rijden

jullie rijden

zij rijden

houden = to hold

ik houd/hou

jij houdt

u houdt

hij/zij/het houdt

wij houden

jullie houden

zij houden

The t of the second person singular is dropped when you ask a question:

rijd jij?

houd jij?
