A la montagne versus dans la montagne?I have a question based on a test I took. It stated that one would say..."pour aller skier a la montagne" ("to go and ski in the mountains"). Why is it, a la montagne and not dans la montagnes?

Son amieIn some other lesson I read that we use ´son' for amie. This is probably to ease pronunciation. My question is what is the rule if there is an adjective between son and amie that doesn't begin with a vowel. Is son petit ´amie' or ' sa petite ami' correct?

Tu fais quoi? and vous faites quoi?

Is it fine to use these forms to ask "what are you making?" or is there a more appropriate way to ask/better verb to use?

"Dans tous les cas" vs "en tout cas"

How come "en tout cas" is not an acceptable translation for "in any case"? To me, they mean the same thing but perhaps there is a difference in connotation?
