Thanks for clearing this up because I was a little confused...

Je suppose qu'on peut dire "Elle est froid(e)" pour signifier "Elle n'est pas chaleureuse"?  Ai-je raison?  Si oui, est-ce que l'adjectif accord avec le sujet dans ce cas?

I’m not familiar with the rule of ‘re’ bring added to ‘grossir’ in order to say someone is doing something again.  Is this a general rule?

Puis-je avoir    why not apostrophe j' ?

In the sentence 'I'll call you before leaving' (future) in the quizzes, it seems to be translated in the present tense..' Je t'appelle avant de partir'. Is this a colloquialism ?

Why is Marseille est la deuxième plus grande ville de France not written as Marseille est la deuxième la plus grande ville de France? Shouldn't it be la plus grande

In the exercise about the new green car with the brown leather seats, one alternate answer was ‘Ils sont fait en cuir.’ The best answer was ‘Il sont en cuir’. Present tense.   Was the alternate answer in passe compose? If so, wouldn’t that be ‘ils ont fait en cuir?’  

Merci
