J'ai des chocolats dans ma poche. (I have some chocolates in my pockets.)

Could you explain why the translation is "my pockets" rather than "my pocket"?

Thank you

How to write July 6, 1998 in French?

Maybe there are regional differences, but I would not say "I am going to see with (Julie), but etc etc" as it is used in the sentence in this exercise. That would be "I am going to check with Julie, but . . . " or "I am going to see what Julie says/thinks, but. . . .". 

It reads to me as if the literal translation from the French expression "Je vais voir avec Julie, mais ..." has been used here, but it doesn't sound right (to me) in English. 

"I am going to see with Julie, but . . " would indicate something along the lines of 'keeping an eye on her', 'giving her a chance to' etc 

Complétez avec le contraire des prépositions : 

1. Le chien est sur la table.

2. L’ordinateur est à gauche du mur.

3. L’oiseau est au-dessous du bureau.

4. Le cinéma est devant l’hôtel.

5. L’école est loin de ma maison.

Is it the same as in sports where if you do it in general its faire but if you're doing it in the moment it's jouer?

I want more  same questions to practice my vocabulary.

In “dont les noms sont tout aussi appétissants”, why doesn’t “tout” agree with the subject (“les noms”)? I was expecting to see “tous”. 

Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?

This is confusing me... in English  three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?

Why is it "Elle a monté" instead of "Elle est montée"?
