Last section is very confusing

In the last section covering: Il manque [quelque chose] à [qulequ’un/quelque chose/] there are two sentences that do not make use of “à”. The last one, in particular, has me stumped: “Il va manquer une chaise pour ton oncle.” What rule is this following? The impersonal examples below don’t seem to explain it.

There seem to be too many concepts under a single heading that don’t appear to apply to them all.

La demande ne peut pas être effectué vu que la jour est déjà passé

Why is vu used in this case to mean since in this case? Also is there anything similar to this that we could use the same way? Thank you

I’ve always wanted to try…

Hi, I thought that something in the past that continues to the present (and is still continuing) would take the imparfait, not the passé composé: Je voulais toujours essayer…

Accents on letters

Is there a way to add accents on the letters? I don't have them on my keyboard...I still enjoyed this practice though!

Capitalising “les belges”

Hi, with reference to “les Belges brassent près de huit cent variétés de bière ?”, “les Belges brassent près de huit-cent sortes de bière ?”, and “les Belges brassent près de 800 types de bière ?”.

I thought that it was not correct to capitalise “les belges”?

Understanding time

HI everyone,

So to my understanding reading the previous answers to the questions unambiguously would mean both am and pm?

Also I know the two different ways to say the numbers in both 12 hour and 24hour but, and as I'm reading the responses it seems that past 6pm you would use like deux treize quatroze etc. Would I be correct and if it's past midnight would it be the same?

Thanks

Nicole
