Bonjour Christine !
For the moment, these exercises are supported by a third party, so we can’t apply our accent finder to them, but we’re working on bringing them onto our site very soon.
In the meantime, may I suggest to switch your current keyboard to International US Keyboard, where you’d have shortcuts to accents.
Bonne journée !
In the writing challenge B1-My dream home, in sentence 9, “My house wouldn’t be as big as a mansion”, it is acceptable to use “une démeure” instead of “un manoir”, or is this a bit old fashioned ? I frequently see “une démeure” used in tourist leaflets when referring to a mansion or Manor House. Just curious.
Bonjour Anita !
Une demeure - not démeure ;) - is just a general term for "house" or "lodging" in old-fashioned French, so it wouldn't bring the specificity of "manoir".
Bonne journée !
