Questions & Answers about Ich trage immer meinen Bademantel und fühle mich sehr wohl.
Why is there a mich in the second part of the sentence?
It belongs to the verb sich wohlfühlen (to feel comfortable). In German, this is a reflexive verb, meaning you literally say 'I feel myself comfortable'. Because the subject is ich, you must use the reflexive pronoun mich.
Why is wohl at the very end of the sentence?
The base verb is sich wohlfühlen. This is a separable verb, so when you conjugate it in a main clause, the prefix wohl detaches and jumps to the very end of its clause.
Why is it meinen Bademantel instead of just mein Bademantel?
Der Bademantel (bathrobe) is a masculine noun. Because it is the direct object receiving the action of the verb tragen (to wear), it takes the accusative case. For masculine nouns in the accusative, the possessive word mein changes to meinen.
Why isn't there an ich after und?
Just like in English, when two actions share the exact same subject and are connected by und (and), you do not have to repeat the subject. You could say und ich fühle mich..., but dropping the second ich flows much better.
