Questions & Answers about Son accent est meilleur grâce à ce dialogue.
Why do we use meilleur here instead of mieux for 'better'?
Meilleur is the comparative form of the adjective bon (good), so it modifies nouns. Here, it describes the noun accent (his accent is 'more good'). Mieux is the comparative form of the adverb bien (well) and is used to describe actions or verbs, like if you wanted to say he speaks better (il parle mieux).
Could I say à cause de ce dialogue instead of grâce à ce dialogue?
Does son accent specifically mean 'his' accent, or could it mean 'her' accent?
It could mean either! In French, possessive adjectives like son, sa, and ses agree with the noun being possessed, not the owner. Because accent is a masculine noun, you must use son accent regardless of whether it belongs to a man or a woman. You would rely on the surrounding context to know whose accent it is.
