Why was the capital C of Ça accented ? I was taught in French France the capital letters are not accented but are in Canadian French.

Is this a Canadian French course? I want to be confident I'm learning French as used in France.

aimer v adorer

i learned that aimer is to love a person or animal but it means like for an object and if you want to love an object you use adorer eg j'adore le chocolat - i love chocolat. j'aime le chocolat - i like chocolat. Is this wrong?

The meaning of "Filou"

Merci pour cette histoire ! je l'adore. I enjoyed getting to know your cats, Jasper and Filou. As far as I am concerned, a house is not a home without at least one cat. (Our kitty is named "Louis" and we use the French pronunciation, "Louie".)

I really love the name, "Filou" and am just curious as to the meaning.

Merci beacoup !

Subjonctif futur"J'ai peur que tu ne le fasses" means "I'm scared you'll do it" according to one test. But shouldn't it rather be "I'm scared you are doing it"? There seems to be no subjonctif futur in French?

favori vs préféré

Favori and préféré are adjectives that can mostly be used interchangeably, meaning favorite.

In what cases are they NOT interchangeable? When do you need to use one over the other?

Taille vs Pointure

Why did none of the answers for shoes size have the option pointure as a vocabulary choice? I thought you weren't supposed to use taille with shoe sizes.
