ACCENTS ON CAPITAL LETTERS
Asked 3 years ago
Hi Caroline,
On Kwiziq we use accents on capital letters but you are not wrong, it's a matter of preference and that's the way we have chosen.
Bonne Continuation!

It is not incorrect to use accents on capital letters in French - the Academie-française still encourages it. However, in regular publishing and everyday writing they are often left off.
