Getting accents from a windows keyboard

The problem here is not my knowledge of conjugating the verb, but being able to get the accent on the e from my windows keyboard. How do I do that please?

Direct object sentence

Hello,

I am doing the A1 reading passage for the Cher journal and the sentence I'm confused on is. Il me reste des crosissants du weekend.

I know il me reste is a direct object sentence but not sure how the meaning of the word reste is used here.

I think it means he has leftover croissants?

Thanks

Nicole

You haven't lived here long?

I read the lesson and it indicated that in the negative, with depuis on should use the passe' compose and I got it wrong. The correct answer shows the present tense should be used. This is contrary to the lesson. I am confused and need clarification.

Thank you, Norma

après que

J'étais soulagée après que tu as réussi ton exam. Here, the main verb is in the plus que parfait and après que is followed by a verb in the passé composé. Isn't that backwards; shouldn't the main verb be in the passé composé and the subordinate verb be in the plus que parfait?
