Ma sœur vous a aperçu en ville mais vous ne l'avez pas vue.

Sentence Discussions French
#1
English Translation

My sister saw you in the city, but you didn’t see her.

vous ne l’avez pas
sounds like
vous ne lavez pas. (You do not wash).

#2

I think the pronunciation is identical, but the context makes it clear which is which. “Vous ne lavez pas vue” doesn’t make sense.

#3

You are right. However, I caution people against saying “vous ne l’avez pas” to sales people.
