Questions & Answers about La profesora dice que tu letra es clara y fácil de comprender.

Why is it la profesora and not just profesora?

La profesora means the teacher. In Spanish, the definite article (el, la, los, las) is often used where English might or might not use the.

Here, la profesora refers to a specific teacher. If you said just profesora, that would usually sound incomplete unless you were directly addressing her, as in Profesora, tengo una pregunta.

Also, profesora is the feminine form of profesor, so it tells you the teacher is female.

Why is it dice?

Dice is the third-person singular form of the verb decir (to say / to tell).

So:

• yo digo = I say
• tú dices = you say
• él/ella dice = he/she says

Because the subject is la profesora (she / the teacher), Spanish uses dice.

Why is there a que in the middle of the sentence?
