Bonjour Madame Cécile,

In the exercise on passé composé vs imparfait, I am stuck on the last line . 

It reads - “Elle a souri et elle a dit qu’elle nous pardonnait . Nous n’avons jamais oublié cette leçon.” 

Here , why does ‘pardonner’ take imparfait and not passé composé ?

Also why does ‘oublier’ take passé composé and not imparfait ?

Please give the grammatical reasons for the same.

Merci d’avance.

Is there a lesson that explains this use of l/le? I see it a lot, but I don't fully understand when it is needed and when it isn't needed. 

which is the correct level?

Quelle est la différence?

Bonjour:)  Would you please review the kwiz answer I missed in the above lesson?  I did not find any of the possible choices for an answer to be particularly applicable.  The actual answer seemed like it was l'imparfait situation in the past so I did not choose that one.  I knew "built" was not a verb used in the choice but it seemed to imply the present tense to me.  Anyway, many thanks for some clarification on this question at your convenience I hope?  Merci.
