Imparfait vs Compose practice 10/01/19

"Re the imparfait v past compose practice, 10/1/19:- 

1, you say that "a regarde" should have an "s" after the "e". Why? Surely with avoir there is no agreement? 

2,the same with "a pardonnes" lower down. Surely this also should just end with an "e" acute! 

3, finally, when she pardons us, that is an action that is over and done with, a once and once only act, therefore why is that not past compose? 

Many thanks, Tim

P.S. Sorry, can't do accents on my keyboard!
