ma poche

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

Point of grammar in the sentence - Pense à ce qui te fait du bien et détends-toi.

In the above sentence why is it "pense" à but then "détends"-toi. Since it's the tu form, why isn't it "Penses à"

Thanks for your help.

“which will relax me”

Can “ce qui déroulera” be used here, or does this verb mean “unwind” only in a more literal sense (e.g. unwind a reel of cable)?

Use of "depuis" for an action that is presently continuingThis was listed as the correct answer, but I had understood that, for actions that are continuing in the present, the present tense was used with "depuis." Did I miss something? Thanks.

de vs des

I find it inconsistent that at one point the text says 'en alternance avec de tulipes pourpres' while later it says 'l'éclat des soucis orange'.

Is there a reason why the second phrase isn't 'l'éclat de soucis orange' - or would that have been equally acceptable?

Confusing questionTu l'as nettoyé ________ je te l'avais demandé?Did you clean it as I had asked you?
This could be interpreted as "Did you clean it LIKE I had asked you?" The question is ambiguous.
