Week 32 on one plate. Lesson 63: Мне нужна была куртка; Я примерил три куртки; Серая была дешевле; Я взял чёрную. Lesson 64, the Month 8 test: 20 questions, 14 to pass, 3 topics. — The week on one plate.

Вчера́ я ходи́л по магази́нам. Yesterday I went shopping.
Мне нужна́ была́ тёплая ку́ртка. I needed a warm jacket.
Я приме́рил три ку́ртки: одна́ была́ мне мала́. I tried on three jackets: one was too small for me.
Се́рая была́ деше́вле, но чёрная тепле́е и удо́бнее. The grey one was cheaper, but the black one was warmer and more comfortable.
Я взял чёрную: э́то са́мая лу́чшая ку́ртка! I took the black one: it's the very best jacket!
Пото́м на ры́нке я купи́л килогра́мм я́блок. Then at the market I bought a kilo of apples.
А вы? Что вы купи́ли на э́той неде́ле? And you? What did you buy this week?
