    Why dein and not deine?

      I believe this is because it's "der Mantel", a masculine noun. You use dein for masculine/neutral nouns and deine for feminine nouns.

          I use jacket instead of coat and it was wrong but ive been using it on all the other statements and it has been correct. Also I said mucky instead of dirty and that was wrong
