à l'heure v à temps

Hi, I was doing a writing exercise translating "So that all was ready on time." The correct answer was "Pour que tout soit prêt à temps,"' and not "'Pour que tout soit prêt à l'heure." Why is it better to use à temps in this sentence?

Naître in the present and past tensesOne of the test questions for this lesson is: Zoë est née avant Lèo. Zoë is born before Léo. Is this past tense translation correct because the speaker is necessarily speaking about a past event? Could we use the present tense here?
