if we use ne ... jamais to say never then when do we use ne pas?

Before the exercise I put the vocab given into Google Translate if I don't know them.  I didn't know "des jumelles" and it comes back "binoculars."     Larousse also says that les jumelles are an optical instrument.  However, since that made no sense, I put the whole phrase into Google Translate and it came back "the twins are twelve" -- which of course makes sense.  But for a beginner it was very confusing not to find the definition of "twins" for this word I didn't know.  Is it colloquial for jumelles to mean twins?

BTW, I look forward to the dictees every week.  Keep them coming!

Hello ,

How do you say: "I took and my passed my exams"

Why use Mangez-y ! then Manges-y !?

I don't see when they implied the use of Vous or Tu in the sentences? Please explain. Thanks
