I finally set up my keyboard for the Greek alphabet, but where do I find the accent marks?
Here is the relevant part from this link: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/22424028
How to add the accent.
On the Greek keyboard first type the key on the right of the Λ (L) (the semicolon ;) then type the letter you want the accent on. On a mobile just hold the letter for an extra second or two and there will appear a variety of that letter with accents. Slide up to the one you want.
Modern Greek has only ONE accent, that is placed above the accented vowels, and it looks like this: ά,έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ, ώ. The accent goes on one of the three last syllables. Accents help you give emphasis to the right syllable. E.g. “βιβλίο” (veevLEEo), ''μιλώ'' (meeLO) etc.
Punctuation Marks The Period, or full stop, the comma and, the exclamation mark are the same as English.
The Greek QUESTION MARK looks just like the English semicolon; and can be found on the Q when you are on the Greek keyboard

I can't do the right answers because my keyboard doesn't have the greek letters. so I'm stuck. Can you include a greek keyboard below the questions?? please? I'm not great with technology.......
They sound exactly the same. You'll just have to get used to where each is used, just as you learn the spelling.
There is one rule...the first person singular, in the present tense always ends in ω. For example "βλέπω" "I see", "παίζω" "I play".
