Nettoie vs nettoye

Nettoye the lesson gives Nettoye as the alternate spelling of nettoie but the quiz doesn't follow your lesson...I tried it just to see if it would be accepted...surely it should be marked "correct"

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate semi-regular -oyer/-ayer/-uyer verbs in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"

Hi Marnie,

As Chris says only 'nettoie' ( je / il/elle/on ) is correct.

The alternative spelling -aie/-aye is available only for verbs ending in -ayer. Nettoyer dos not fall under this category.

« So i just took the little quiz in the end and I got one wrong because I checked an option that included 'we'. Why is this reflexive verb conjugated in passé composé ? »
