Whose coat is this?

There is a red coat on the playground. We don’t know whose coat it is. So we guess who is its owner.

John says it can’t be Mike’s, because it is too small for him. Mary says Tom likes red, so it might belong to Tom. Eric thinks it must be Frank’s, because he is playing football with his friends on the playground now.

But I don ‘t agree with them. I saw Bob wear a red coat yesterday, so I believe it must belong to him.
