Questions & Answers about La vétérinaire dit que le harnais est plus pratique que la laisse pour ce chiot.

Why is it la vétérinaire and not le vétérinaire?

Vétérinaire can be used for either a male or a female vet. The noun itself usually stays the same, and the article shows the gender:

• le vétérinaire = the male vet
• la vétérinaire = the female vet

So in this sentence, la vétérinaire tells you the speaker is referring to a woman.

Why is it dit and not dis?

Because the subject is la vétérinaire, which is she.

The verb dire in the present tense goes like this:

• je dis = I say
• tu dis = you say
• il/elle dit = he/she says

So la vétérinaire dit means the vet says.

Why are there two que words in the sentence, and do they mean the same thing?
