Shouldn’t gloves be in the plural? I see no k there.

No. When talking about paired items (gloves, shoes, etc.), Hungarian uses the singular.

    I think Duo should accept " ... men wear/are wearing black gloves", unless the deliberate meaning is that they are only "in gloves". :D Happy New Year!

      Should "are wearing" be accepted as opposed to/in addition to "are in"? The latter is fairly unnatural in English
