Questions & Answers about C'est un enseignant belge très doué.

Why do we use C'est here instead of Il est?
Because the profession (enseignant) is modified. When we state someone's profession on its own, we use Il est without an article (like Il est enseignant). But as soon as we add an article (un) and descriptive adjectives (like belge and très doué), we must switch to C'est un....
Why do both adjectives (belge and très doué) come after the noun?
In French, adjectives of nationality (like belge) always follow the noun. Furthermore, adjectives modified by an adverb (like très) or longer, descriptive adjectives generally follow the noun as well. Since both fit these rules, they string together naturally after enseignant.
How would this sentence change if we were talking about a female teacher?
It would become C'est une enseignante belge très douée. Notice that belge stays exactly the same because it already ends in an -e in the masculine form, but we add a feminine -e to both enseignant and doué.
What is the origin of the word doué?
Doué is the past participle of the verb douer, which means to endow or to give a gift to. In everyday French, it is commonly used as an adjective to mean gifted or talented.
