Questions & Answers about Uso mi libro verde.
Why isn't the subject "I" written as "yo"?
In Spanish, the verb forms usually indicate who is performing the action, so it’s unnecessary to use the subject pronoun yo (meaning "I") unless you want to add emphasis or avoid ambiguity.
What's the difference between "mi" and "mí"?
Mi is the possessive adjective meaning my, as in mi libro (my book). Meanwhile, mí with an accent is a pronoun used after prepositions, like in para mí (for me).
Is there a more formal verb for "use" besides "uso"?
Yes. You can say utilizo for a slightly more formal tone, but it's not required. In everyday Latin American Spanish, uso is perfectly common.
Why does "verde" (green) come after "libro"?
Most adjectives, including colors, follow the noun in Spanish. So you say libro verde instead of verde libro.
How do I say it if there are multiple green books?
Simply make all parts plural: Uso mis libros verdes. You change mi to mis for "my," libro to libros for "books," and verde to verdes for "green."
