Questions & Answers about Mi abrigo es muy ligero y práctico.
Why do we use muy (very) here instead of tan (so/as)?
Muy simply describes how light the coat is (very light). You would use tan if you were comparing it to something else using tan ... como (as ... as). For example: Mi abrigo es tan ligero como tu chaqueta (My coat is as light as your jacket).
Why use es instead of está to describe the coat?
Do both ligero and práctico have to match abrigo?
Yes! In Spanish, all adjectives describing a noun must match its gender and number. Since abrigo (coat) is a masculine, singular noun, both adjectives take their masculine, singular forms ending in -o. If you were talking about a feminine noun like chaqueta (jacket), it would be muy ligera y práctica.
Could I say mío abrigo instead of mi abrigo?
