acceptez (present indicative)
The verb accepter conjugated for vous; regular -er verb, stem ‘accept‑’ + ending ‘‑ez’.
mon (possessive adjective)
Shows ownership; agrees in gender and number with the noun that follows (assurance is feminine, but the masculine form ‘mon’ is used before a vowel or h‑muet for euphony).
assurance (noun, feminine)

✕Common Mistakes
Tu acceptez mon assurance ici ?
‘Tu’ is informal; use ‘vous’ unless you are on familiar terms with the staff.
Ma assurance
If the noun starts with a vowel sound, ‘mon’ is correct; otherwise you could also say ‘ma assurance’. Both are acceptable, but ‘mon’ is more common before a vowel.
Vous acceptez ici mon assurance ?
Placing ‘ici’ before the verb sounds unnatural; keep it at the end of the sentence.

Cultural Tip
In France, most people have a state‑run health insurance (sécurité sociale) plus a complementary private plan called a ‘mutuelle’. When you ask this question, be ready to present both your carte vitale and the mutuelle card. In more informal settings (e.g., a small boutique), you might use ‘tu’ only if the staff member has invited you to do so.
