Why is it "Elle a souri, et elle a dit qu'elle nous PARDONNAIT?"

Didn't she forgive them once and that's it? I'm assuming it's considering an "opinion" for some reason and that's why?

Also "Nous n'avons jamais oublié celle leçon?"

This is a one and done deal somehow? They are NOT forgetting rather than forgetting, so it's not a one and done deal. They still remember now. 

"le propriétaire m'a dit que vous étiez mon fournisseur d'électricité".

Can you explain the use of the imperfect tense in this context?

I chose "vous seriez"rather than 'vous  étiez".  I interpreted "were" as conditional (ie, as "you would be") rather than literally "you were".  I thought that Bruno was not already a client of the electricity provider. Is this acceptable?

I'm a bit unsure why it should be 'couples des autres' rather than 'couples d'autres'...
