  • Quelles options de traitement nous a ?

    In formal writing you should use *nous avons* or the passive form *les options sont disponibles*.

  • Quel options de traitement on a ?

    The adjective must agree with the noun; *quel* becomes *quelles* because *options* is feminine plural.

    Do not add an unnecessary article before *traitement*; the preposition *de* already links the nouns.

Cultural Tip

In French medical settings, using *on* is common in spoken language, but in written or very formal contexts you’ll often see *nous* or the passive voice. Also, French patients tend to ask for a clear list of options, so be ready to discuss pros, cons, and possible side‑effects.
