My keyboard does not have the accents. So it keeps counting my answers wrong
Duolingo usualy counts it as correct even if you forget the accents so you shouldn't be having that problem
a bea - Present Tense
- eu beau = I drink
- tu bei = you drink
- el/ea bea = he/she/it drinks
- noi bem = we drink
- voi beți = you drink
- ei/ele beau = they drink
There is a different form for almost every "person" in the chart (in Romanian, the first singular (I) and third plural (they) are often the same, in other verbs it's the third person singular (he/she) and plural that are the same). Eg. if the subject is You (plural) "voi" the verb must be beți. that way it is actually possible to leave off the subject pronoun and just say beți and the subject is clear. In fact, the subject is SO clear, that I believe that use of the pronoun along with the verb brings emphasis to the subject, as in „YOU are drinking and HE is not.” Of course, for those forms that are the same (I drink and they drink for a bea) the pronoun is used to clarify who the subject is.
I had the right accent on şi and its getting counted like "you have a typos in ur answer"
No, look closer and add Romanian keyboard through settings. You used an s with a cedille underneath ş which is used in Turkish, but this is an s with a special comma underneath ș specifically used in Romanian: "Română".
I use an accent that looks the same for "şi" but each time it tells me to watch my accents. Is this an issue with my keyboard, if so how should it look?

Are you using ș or ş? The first is correct, the second is what in French is called a cedilla. If you look closely, you can see the difference. If you have the ability to add a Romanian keyboard, that will fix it. I'm just starting this language, so if there's anything I'm missing, feel free to correct.
