Did you recently overhaul the search functions? I think so, but maybe have just not been paying attention. Much better now anyway, especially for tracking down previous discussion on QandA forum.
This sentence in English should be either "next year I'm going to the Alps with you", or "next year I'm coming to the Alps with you" (depending on the speaker's location at the time of speaking). There are structures which use 'in' but I suspect they are more complex than wanted for this exercise.
Suggest change the English, with a clue such as "French - in the Alps". This ensures better English, and reinforces that preposition use is different between French and English.
(As always, there may be regional English usage differences, but I am not aware of that being the case here)

Frustrating. I know that you cannot cover every eventuality but with the multiple choice questions, I am so often finding that I have got the topic correct but that there is another trap in the questions but the learn and discuss sends me back to the bit I have got right!.. like when to put -t- between two vowels (a-t-appellé) sends me back to the passé composé I can see that the traps are meant to be helpful but not when we can't see why it is actually wrong and keep making the same mistake.
I have read that the relative clause after coming the "ne...pas" required the subjonctive.But I have a question.İf I am sure about the matter do ı have to use subjunctive?
for example
Je n'ai pas d'amis qui peuvent m'aider( can ı use indicative if ı am sure that I really know that I don't have any friend who can help me)
Why was qui est-ce qui not correct? Qui was the correct answer. I thought the two were interchangeable and both correct?
Thanks

I'll call you before leaving.
votre réponse correcte est :
Je t'appelle avant de partir.

Pourquoi pas :
Je « t'appelleras »...

So in an earlier exercise, "I love swimming," you had a possible answer for fear of heights as "peur du vide" but not in this one. Is there a reason why?
