Questions & Answers about No inverno ponho dois cobertores.
Why is it No inverno and not just Em inverno?
In Portuguese, seasons need a definite article (the word for "the"). So instead of just saying "in winter" (em), you have to say "in the winter": em + o combines to make no.
Ponho looks like an unusual word. What verb does it come from?
It is the "I" form (first-person singular) of the highly irregular verb pôr (to put). Even though the infinitive is short, the "I" form becomes ponho in the present tense.
