'Let's finish'/'Finish!'So if 'let's finish our homework' is 'finissons nos devoirs', what would 'finish our homework!' be? (As in you're telling else to do it) Merci!

Après avoir/êtreAll of the examples I've seen with après avoir/être + past particple are followed by another action in the past tense e.g. 'après avoir lu mon livre, je suis allé au lit'. However, can the comstruction be used with a second action in the present tense? e.g. 'après avoir lu mon livre, je vais au lit' to mean 'after reading my book, I go to bed'.

Martin n'est pas arrivé depuis longtemps.This is also a tricky example to comprehend because here arriver is translated as having the same meaning as être. Would it be possible to see a translation of "Martin n'arrive pas depuis longtemps." to compare the difference the tense makes (for clarification) please?

Placement of verbIn the examples, 'dire' goes after the two negations while 'faire' and 'aller' goes before them. What's the rule here?
