unworn clothing

Fahad A.C1Kwiziq community member

If I am talking about clothing that I own, but am not currently wearing, do I still use the definite article?

For example “La veste est sur le canapé” or “Ma veste est sur le canapé” ?

Hi Fahad,

If it is your jacket you will say ‘ma’ otherwise we don’t know whose jacket it is .....
