Can you have "je courrai sur le tapis roulant pour une demie heure" because its the future tense?

Bonjour,

Comment faut-il dire "not again" si ce n'est pas "pas encore"? 

Merci en avance!

I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb

-Donne-moi les fleurs!

-Give me the flowers!

However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.

Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative

·         Donnez-moi RIGHT

·         Donne-moi WRONG

Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?

If the verb is se passer, should it not be "Comment tes vacances se sont-ils passées" 

If the verb is simply passer, should it not be "Comment sont passées tes vacances"

I am a beginner lever french learner. I have been trying to study a poem by Pierre de Ronsard, 'Quand vous serez bien vielle..'. I have understood the meaning of the rest of the poem but the second quatrain still puzzles me.

Lors, vous n’aurez servante oyant telle nouvelle,
Déjà sous le labeur à demi sommeillant,
Qui au bruit de mon nom ne s’aille réveillant,
Bénissant votre nom de louange immortelle.

I have looked up the meanings of all the individual words and have a rough understanding of the whole but without absolute certainty. I would appreciate if anyone could expound upon this quatrain.

When/why do we use article définis before the Auxiliary? 

Why are both of these correct:

"Je n'ai vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + nulle part]

"Il n'est jamais allé nulle part." [ne + jamais + nulle part]

But not this:

"Je n'ai pas vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + pas + nulle part]
