    Shouldn't you always be able to put the time first?

    You should be able to put 家人 ahead of 我 in this sentence

    Not really, in Chinese 我 comes ahead of others, unlike in English.

    I'm not sure but it feels a little weird to just put "暑假" without anything else... I tried using "暑假的时候我和家人会去香港" Would it be gramatically correct to use as an aswer?

      Then you would be implying that you go to Hong Kong every summer break.

        Aren't the subject and time in a sentence able to switch places?

        Is it correct to say 我跟家人instead of 我和家人? It seems like that's been the commoner structure so far.
