Looking for the tense in French. Answers without accents are accepted.

The quiz does not accept "passé antérieur" with both accents, I was puzzled. Also since you're using the full names, you might want to use "futur simple" and "conditionnel présent", but it's just my personal feeling about it. Otherwise I had fun !

I took five total years of French in school (high school and college), and I don't recall anyone actually saying "l'indicatif." I think a little flexibility here might be nice.

I think "de l'indicatif" should be implied for the ones that have it. it makes sense to add "du subjonctif," but everyone's going to know you're talking about the indicative when you just say "plus-que-parfait." those should be accepted without having to add "de l'indicatif."

I'd be a bit more forgiving about the subjunctive tenses. Also, my students favorite tense, the passé récent, is missing.

If you type "present" (that is, without the accent), "du subjonctif" is not required; if you type "présent", "du subjonctif" is required. A bit of consistency there would be good.
