Mon frère ________ quand on joue ensemble

Car H mute est une voyelle....????
J'ai écrit je fais des choses variées au lieu de différentes?

Merci
I would like to know why retenir means "to learn" here and not apprendre
Why is the phrase "notre prof de science nous demandait de préparer ..." in imparfait not passé composé? Since the requests occurred at specific points in time I thought it would be passé composé. Is it because the requests were repeated each year?
During a quiz, the question posed was,
Vous _______________ dans le placard.
I conjugated it as Vous êtes cachés but it marked it as wrong. Is there a distinction when the subject is to one person? I am a bit confused.
Bonjour,
In one of the examples above:
Maintenant que ses parents n'étaient plus là, elle devait s'occuper de sa sœur.
However I'm confused because it states that Devoir with l'imparfait is "was supposed to [do]", however the translation is:
Now that her parents were gone, she had to take care of her sister.
Why is it not:
Now that her parents were gone, she was supposed to take care of her sister.
Merci
Nevermind, I think I just heard it wrong
