What is the difference between っこない and もんか?

Hey @Hadros232232 !

We apologize for the late reply!

っこない does not have the sarcastic tone to it like how ものか has and っこない cannot be used for rhetorical questions. We hope that helps!

Shouldn’t this be accepted ?

I don’t understand this answer. The grammar description says that this is attached to masu-stem verbs, and the sentence prompt says [勝つ], but it seems that the answer is using the potential form.
