French language Q&A Forum

I was doing a quiz, but I kept getting one nearly correct answer. It was the verb décevoir (to disappoint). On the quiz, the question’s subject was they (ils/elles) so I typed déçoivent, but Kwiziq’s correct answer was deçoivent with no accent on the e. 

Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss something or is this a mistake? 

Thanks,

Sarah

If I don't type with the accents that are part of French writing, will I still be understood?

Could I say- c'etait plus mieux que ses reves?

or 

C'etait meme mieux que dans ses reves.

Why '' encore''?

I always say this to my daughter (I'm trying to teach her french too). But if this is more of a general statement, is that a bit of a weird way to speak to a child then? I.e. to tell them to go and brush their teeth.

Most of the lessons on this site help with grammatical understanding, however this is the first lesson I’m struggling to understand. I’ve found some comments useful after being overly frustrated with getting the quizzes wrong, but I feel this article needs an update for further clarity.

I can see why you could use the pluperfect for "They would have had a dog if they had been able to". But "... could have" seems to call for the conditional past (although I agree that the meaning is the same).

Thanks

I have used sauf si instead of à moins que and it marked me wrong. I thougth that the two were interchangeable. 

Very, very difficult to distinguish which answer in English is actually correct. Could not be more subtle which makes it very difficult to select the correct answer

Très bonne exercice pour pratiquer mon pauvre français. Je

I always understood that if you use 'on' that you had to match it with 'son mécontentement 'ie. 'On' with 'son' and 'nous' with 'notre'

Can anyone clarify ?
