Here is a good explanation: https://www.lawlessfrench.com/pronunciation/liaisons/
The verb être (to be) is irregular (it doesn't conjugate the same way as most verbs ending in -re).
It conjugates like this in Le Présent:
| je | suis |
| tu | es |
| il/elle/on | est |
| nous | sommes |
| vous | êtes |
| ils/elles | sont |

Is there an easy way to select the correct accent mark?
It's very difficult to see the accent marks. Do you actually use the circumflex symbol on this website? It looks like you just use a dot. It's almost impossible to choose the correct accent mark on this website because it's so difficult to see them.

Hi Michael - I've sent you an email about this, as this is a technical question, not a language-related one and I can help you best with further details via email.

There is a pool of questions for every topic. When you take a quiz, a question is selected from the pool. There is some programmed logic deciding which question to choose, which also depends on your score. For example, you get the questions where you choose the answer from a drop down list early on while the free form text questions come later in the game.
To raise your score you need to retake the quiz for the specific question. Every correct answer will increase your score and every wrong one will lower it.
