Why the imparfait?

The lesson that drew me here said the correct answer was in the imparfait. Ils ne habitaient plus ici but the examples in the lesson do not transition from the present to the imparfait. What makes the difference?

Créer et inventer

J'ai choisi créer pour "made up" mais il ne marchait pas. À sa place, vous avez proposé "inventer." Dans la deuxième instance, j'ai utilisé "inventer ". Vous avez fait la correction, "créer ". Je pense que tous les deux devraient être acceptable dans chaque traduction. Make up, imagine, create sont des synonymes dans le contexte de cette histiore. L'histoire était mignon comme d'habitude. Félicitations !

Clarification of tiebreak situation in French Open

This comment regards the content rather than the French language practice, so not really that important. The lack of tiebreaks in the deciding set was the case when this exercise was first published a couple of years ago, but now in 2022, all 4 Grand Slam tournaments have standardised and are using tiebreaks in the final set (they go to 10 points rather than to 7 points like in the other sets).

Expressions clarifications

why is fringues not okay instead of vetements? Why is les toilettes not correct in this sentence " Oui, bien sûr, il est dans la salle de bains, sous le lavabo."?

Can we use the expression il y a in this sentence, insted of "où est"? Bastien, tu sais où est le panier à linge ?
