Futur vs ConditionnelOne quiz reads:"Tu _____ m'aider après manger ?" (Will you be able to help me after eating?) and we're supposed to enter Le Futur of "pouvoir". But why Futur? As there appears to be some doubt as to whether the person addressed can help, why aren't we using Le Conditionnel ?

Uses of C'estHello, I am a bit confused about the standalone adject + c'est constructions. I thought that to use c'est it needed to proceed a noun within the sentence. Is what I'm seeing here a special case? Or do I have it completely mixed up (which wouldn't come as a great shock to me lol)?

se marier - simple past or passé composé?In the examples we have "Elle se maria cette année-là." and in the quiz "Je me suis marié ce jour-là". I think the first is the simple past, the second passé composé - but why choose one over the other? Or are they equivalent?

Ce vase Ming vaut plus que tu ne peux l'imaginer.Ce vase Ming vaut plus que tu ne peux l'imaginer. This Ming vase is worth more than you can imagine. What is the purpose of "ne" here? The sentence doesn't seem to indicate any negative tense.
