I �m wearing a coat in winter? Is it Ok?
|

Is it possible to ask the question "What are you wearing in winter?" and answer "I am wearing ... in winter" May be in spoken English it�s alright but it sounds a bit strange for me. Or should we ask "What do you wear in winter?" and answer "I wear ... in winter" or other season Thanks for help |

The Present Continuous is for action that is happening now. If you use the phrase "in winter", then you are talking about a period of time, not just now, so it isn�t correct to ask "What are you wearing in winter?". Yes, "what do you wear in winter?" is correct. Bruce |

In exceptional circumstances maybe you could say it. For example, here in Galicia it has been an exceptionally mild winter. I could say: "I�m not wearing my duffle coat this winter." It�s a bit odd I know, but I think it is a poosiblility. The logical thing would be to say I haven�t worn my duffle coat this winter. |

The question was about "in winter". When you say "this winter", it is talking about now, so that is the usual use of the Present Continuous. Bruce |
