How do I access the accents for French writing within Quizik?

I can't seem to make the accents work when I'm using the site. 

Sur votre gauche, vous verrez des panneaux qui vous montreront le chemin de la place. 

Can we say 'à votre gauche'? thanks in advance. 

Wouldn't ramener be a better verb that rentrer?  Or at least it seems to me.  And as an English speaker, no one would say that they "put back" a car into a garage.

I like to try to expand my vocabulary and came across the verb répartir and used it in my translation. AI Overview quotes :  répartir implies a more active process of distributing or sharing out, while "diviser" is more about the act of dividing itself. What’s your opinion ? I acknowledge that this is an A2 exercise and perhaps répartir is a little bit highfalutin but is it acceptable ? Also, the hints at A2 are definitely useful.

At the very start, why is it « ...as-tu prévu quelque chose pour le week-end ? » and not « ...as-tu planifié quelque chose pour le week-end ? » ?
What is the difference between the verb « prévoir » and « planifier » ?

i want to know why " geler"in le futur simple is  "gèlera", rather than "gellera"

What is compound tense. They love each other? It is compound tense? And how?

I always have difficulty deciding whether it should be 'leur' or 'leurs' in these circumstances. I opted for 'leurs' this time and it was marked right - both ar accepted here! But thinking about the logic, it seems to me that it should have been 'leur': There are lots of friends, but each of them just has one family - so 'leur'.

Or am I barking entirely up the wrong tree here ?

(I saw a related question below, but didn't see how to link this question to that one... so I'm starting a new question.)

My question is about how to think about the meaning of "ainsi que." It's translated as "as well as," but in some examples I run into a singular treatment when my brain seems to expect a plural. I think the lesson here for me is that this isn't a translation that works in some cases. I'm wondering if my feeling is true for American English but maybe not for other varieties?

Here's the sentence that tripped me up:

Les Etats-Unis, ________ l'Angleterre, sont un pays anglophone.The United States, as well as England, is an anglophone country.
In English, I actually wouldn't say a sentence like in the translation above - I would say "The United States, like England, is an anglophone country." OR "The United States and England are anglophone countries." I just wouldn't use "as well as" in that way. So my takeaway is that I shouldn't lean in to heavily on using this as a 1-for-1 translation. Does this work better in, say, British English? Thanks.

Bonjour :) where is the cartoon mentioned at the end of this lesson? I can’t see it and there’s no link. It just says it is in the examples but the 6 examples at the bottom are text. I’m looking at this session after getting a question wrong in a quiz and following one of those links in the quiz score report to revisit the content. Sorry I can’t put new paragraphs here - my return button doesn’t seem to do anything here on my iPhone 16. “ Tip: If the words "object pronoun" strike horror and panic into your heart, take a look at the cartoon video in the examples which explains them. They're actually pretty easy to figure out.”
