We have “Non, désolée, je ne peux pas…”. 

Do we get the female version because the speaker is female and it’s really an abbr. of “Je suis désolée”? If the speaker was a man would we get “Non, désolé, je ne peux pas…”?

Salut,

Je préfère la chaleur parce que je suis frileuse. 

Mes questions:

1: Comment ça se fait que "descend" est suivi par "de" dans le text?

2: Je pense que "petit" est un adjectif apposé, mais où est le nom qu'il complète?

Merci

This is somewhat related to this exercise but not completely, but it made me wonder how to express this statement.  

Would it be: je suis content de pouvoir s'asseoir à côté de toi ?

Position of adverbs.

In a multiple choice question, I was presented with "plus tard" at the beginning of a sentence.

"Plus tard, elle te parlera."

This lesson does not teach this, or did I miss something?

Sidenote...to my ear this sentence sounded correct...I had selected it then checked the lesson, when I did not see this particular construction discussed I reversed my decision. I can hear myself saying "she will talk to you later" in French this way.
