Cuándo se pone ustede el abrigo?

What does this mean: is it "when do you put your coat on?" Then how am I supposed to answer? the question doesn't really make sense.

Yes, that's right. You can respond that you put your coat on before you go outside.

The sentence "Cuándo se pone usted el abrigo?" does indeed translate to "When do you put your coat on?" in English. In Spanish, the pronoun "se" is used as a reflexive pronoun to show that the action is being performed on oneself. In this case, it means that someone is asking when you put on your coat.

To answer the question, you can simply provide a time or a circumstance in which you typically put on your coat. For example, you could say "Me pongo el abrigo cuando hace frío" which translates to "I put on my coat when it's cold." This way, you're explaining under what circumstances you usually wear your coat.

It's important to note that providing an appropriate response to this question depends on the context and the person asking it. If the question seems odd or doesn't make sense in a particular situation, you can politely ask for clarification or further details to better understand the intent behind the question.
