In the previous sente "my belts" was translated as "mie cinture"- WITHOUT the article "le". If that's the case, I don't understand why, in this sentence, we would need the article. Couldn't it be translated "non e tuo cappotto"?

I'm never sure where to place the "non" . . . I had È non il tuo cappotto . . . so I got it wrong . . . How do you know where to place the "non"?

I keep having trouble with "suo," as it can also mean the formal "your," but this is not an option you give. If anyone has taken Italian lessons elsewhere, this can be very confusing. I've lots many hearts because I'm going to fast and recognize "suo" as "your" without any context clue to tell me that it's "his" or "her."

If it's used in the formal sense meaning you, isn't it capitalised?

Duo has a policy of capitalizing the formal you in order to distinguish it from his or hers. This is to help keep confusion from those who are just learning the language for the first time.

There is a section farther down the tree where they go over formal you, and why they do this is explained in the discussions there.
agreed anywheregirl! For those of us who have some knowledge but lack structures, this is a weakness of the duolingo system. Maybe you and I are in the wrong place? Andiamo davvanti!
