Questions & Answers about Necesito esos abrigos para el invierno.

Since the singular word for 'that' is ese, shouldn't 'those' be eses?

It is a very common mix-up! Even though the masculine singular is ese (that), the masculine plural changes to esos (those) to match masculine plural nouns like abrigos. The word eses does not exist in Spanish.

Could I use aquellos instead of esos for 'those coats'?

It depends on where the coats are. You use esos for things at a medium distance, like if the coats are near the person you are talking to. If they were far away from both of you ('those coats way over there'), you would use aquellos.

Why do we say el invierno instead of just invierno?

In English, we often just say 'for winter'. In Spanish, seasons almost always need a definite article (el or la) when you talk about them, especially after prepositions like para.

Do I need to say Yo necesito instead of just Necesito?

You can say Yo necesito, but it is perfectly normal and more common to drop the Yo. The verb form necesito already makes it completely clear that 'I' am the one who needs the coats.
