Questions & Answers about Pokrivenost je dobra u gradu.

Why is dobra used here, and not dobar or dobro?

Because dobra has to agree with pokrivenost.

In Serbian, adjectives agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• case

Pokrivenost is a feminine singular noun, so the adjective must also be feminine singular:

• masculine: dobar
• feminine: dobra
• neuter: dobro

So Pokrivenost je dobra = The coverage is good.

What is je here?

Je is the 3rd person singular present tense of biti (to be).

So:

• ja sam = I am
• ti si = you are
• on/ona/ono je = he/she/it is

In this sentence, je means is:

• Pokrivenost je dobra = coverage is good

Also, je is a short clitic form, so it usually appears near the beginning of the sentence, often in the second position.
