''Tu es monté en voiture rapidement.''

Why does this sentence use "en" instead of "dans"? I thought "You got into the car quickly" should be "Tu es monté dans la voiture rapidement." Is there a difference in meaning or can I use "en" and "dans" interchangeably to express getting into a car?

use of future vers future proche

Is it acceptable to use future proche for this article. For example, I think I said 'Je vais rendre visite ... ' rather than 'Je rendrai visite'. Is the event discussed too far in the future to be able to use the future proche?

Thanks

À la montagne contre dans les Alpes.

Pourquoi utilise-t-on le singulier pour traduire "in the mountains" mais le pluriel pour traduire "in the Alpes" alors que les deux sont pluriels en anglais?

The use of aimer

This query isn't really related to this particular topic but this is the lesson attached to the question so I'll ask it here.

Question: Personne n'aime le nouveau professeur

Answer: No one likes the new teacher

I thought when used with a person, aimer on its own means 'to love' not 'like'? Is 'bien' not necessary here?

image vs dessinI used the word "dessin" and it was marked incorrect and replaced with image. In the same text, in the next sentence, I used "image" and it was marked incorrect and replaced with dessin!

A1 -habiterIn the following sentence why is J'habite not immediately followed by à?

"J'habite 11 rue des Fleurs, à La Courneuve."

Is this the way of writing while giving the complete address?

seulement vs ne... que

Why is "Nous avons seulement deux chambres" incorrect?

I understand why "Nous n'avons que deux chambres" is correct, but if I understood the lesson correctly then the option with seulement should simply be informal, but correct just the same.

Translation error ?

In Part 3 : La seule chose qu'elle nous a laissé faire, ce sont les carreaux, here "les carreaux" has been translated as "the windows" and I think that may be an error. Or are they a particular type of window that she had in her room that she didn't know how to clean?
