another Q. In the sentence Den gamla gröna bilen.
Why we add "a" after grön
As i understand
We add "a" if the noun plural
Bilarna är gröna.
We add t in "ett' noun
Huset är grönt
In case of "en" noun we add nothing. Bilen är grön.

You use the singular definite form of the adjective because den is a demonstrative pronoun
We basically double up on the definitiveness of the sentence
