Since both parts of the sentence refer to a feeling/opinion, shouldn't both parts be conjugated using the imperfect past tense?

"Je ne voulais pas choisir pour elle, mais j'ai été soulagé"

Thanks in advance,

I entered this (il ferait du soleil) instead of the answer Kwiziq wanted (il ferait beau). Doesn't il ferait du soleil work as well?

Does the use of this phrase (When something has happened, something else will) automatically make the "something else" far enough in the future to use futur simple rather than present tense ? Certainly some of the examples here would likely be fairly soon in the future, but they all use futur simple !

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. 

The title of the Samuel Beckett play "En Attendant Godot" is usually translated as "Waiting for Godot". Would it be closer to the French original if the title were to be translated as "While Waiting for Godot", or even "Whilst Waiting for Godot"?

(I note that in the examples, you never use the word "whilst", always using "while" instead. )

Aujourd’hui, quel âge avez-vous?

Au cours des années, elle m'a transmis sa passion - why is passé composé used? She clearly says 'over the years' so a repeated action? surely the imparfait would be used here?

Just to let you know, for “OK, but it's on me!” the first answer “Ok, mais c'est moi qui t'invite !” doesn’t have an audio file.
