### sense in the lessons

Interpretation: Joseph's coat of many colours was a sign of his father's special love. The tradition says it stirred up his brothers' jealousy, which led to his being sold into Egypt. In the primary lessons: In everyday life and safety a coat keeps you warm and dry in cold, wet or windy weather; «put your coat on», «hang up your coat», «take off your coat». In science an animal's thick coat keeps it warm in winter, and many animals grow a thicker coat before winter and shed it in spring. In art and DIY you give a fence «a second coat». In cooking you «coat the chicken in breadcrumbs». In stories a coat often shows the weather or who someone is (a long black coat, a raincoat).

### note

Countable: a coat, two coats. «Coat» (outdoor) is different from «jacket» (shorter, lighter), but people often mix them. A «raincoat» keeps off rain, a «lab coat» is worn in science labs. As a verb it takes «in» or «with»: coat it in flour, coated with ice. Do not confuse with «cot» (a baby's bed).
