i should be I and I would put in the morning after to college.
In America, we would not use "go to college" to mean "go to class today."
"I did not go to college because I could not afford it."
Do you mean you found the temperature too cold or that you were ill with a cold?
Conversely, in BrE, that's exactly what we would do. We don't use "go to class".Quote:

We would say "go to school" too, but not at the university level.
Perhaps because so many people live on or near campus when at college/university, they are already AT college/university/school, so it's only the classes they didn't attend.

What I meant to say is:
I was feeling cold in the morning that is why I couldn't go to college
and not that
I couldn't go college in the morning as i was feeling cold.
What do you see as the difference in those two?Quote:

I mean that I found the the temperature too cold.Quote:
