2 invent a story
invent a story (an excuse) придумать рассказ/историю (отговорку/предлог)WAYS OF DOING THINGS:(1.) Глагол to invent в значении "изобретать, издавать" используется в разных сферах человеческой деятельности, но преимущественно для новых, ранее неизведанных предметов материальной культуры. В отличие от него глаголы to create, to devise, to conceive, to make up, to make up with, to think up конкретизируют и ограничивают сферу использования и все относятся к продуктам умственной деятельности, литературы, разных областей искусств, к области фантазии. Кроме такого ограничения они различаются по стилю речи: to invent - глагол нейтральный, to make up, to make up with и to think up, to create, to devise, to conceive носят более литературный, книжный характер.This delicious dish was created by our cook это вкуснейшее блюдо, созданное нашим поваром; this writer created many books for young children этот писатель создал много книг для детей; all attempts to create an international language have more or less failed все попытки создать международный язык пока не имели успеха -
