Imparfait? Why are you using devient?

Why are you devient? As in, elle devient une star... Devient seems to be the present tense of devenir; shouldn't you be using the imparfait?

Merci

Writing challenges and self scoring strictnessHi! I just took my first writing challenge and found myself using slightly different word choices (vocabulary) and on one sentence I used a slightly different word order than the proposed correct translation. So just wondering how to grade myself when I'm pretty sure my answer was as valid as the answer. How much wiggle room should I allow myself?

jusqu'à ce que uses subjunctive except in passé simple cases?

In this sentence, "Cette-fois-là, je retins ma joie jusqu'à ce que je fus sûr", they did not use the subjunctive after jusqu'à ce que. Just wondering why...

Numbers v numerals

The test answers are inconsistent; sometimes dix is changed to 10 and minutes to min and heurs to h. And sometimes not! IMHO if it is written as a word in the question then it should be written as a word in the answer ie ten = dix and hours = heurs.
