Breakdown of Σήμερα φοράω μπουφάν με κουκούλα, γιατί βρέχει και δεν έχω ομπρέλα.

Why is it φοράω and not εγώ φοράω?

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed. The verb ending already shows who the subject is.

So εγώ is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast:

Εγώ φοράω μπουφάν, αλλά αυτός όχι. = I’m wearing a jacket, but he isn’t.

In your sentence, just φοράω is the normal choice.

Does φοράω mean I wear or I am wearing?
