why なります and not なりました ？
I am confused by the use of the tense of になります.
私は来月16歳 になります。I'll be sixteen years old next month.
This is quite straightforward and I understand the use of になります to express something that is going to happen
彼が亡くなって三年になります。It is three years since he died.
This is the type of usage that causes me trouble. [assuming the translation is correct - I got this out of the dictionary], shouldn't it be 'it will be three years since he died'? If the three years have already passed, then why isn't it expressed as
彼が亡くなって三年になりました。
I am hoping someone can shed some light on this, as it is driving me crazy!

Telling the time
How do I say that it is nearly/almost 5 o'clock? And, it is just after/just past 5 oclock. I assume that 'it's about 5 o'clock would be 5 時 ごろ?

Would you help me understand this please?
What is the difference between these three sentences?
雪が降ってきました
雪が降り始めました
雪が降り出しました
As far as I can tell they all mean 'it started snowing', but I understand the subtle differences (if any) between them.
よろしくお願いします。

is this correct?
I am travelling to Japan later this year, with my daughter, who has celiac disease, meaning she cannot eat food containing gluten. Unfortunately, nearly all common Japanese dishes contain gluten. I want to be able to say that she can't afford to eat something without knowing for sure if it contains gluten or not. Does this sound okay?
食べ物をグルテンを含んでいるかどうかの事を知らないで、食べれば危ないです。
よろしくお願いします。

How do I say this?
I know how to say that I miss a person - 彼女がいなくて寂しい。 But this presumably doesn't work when I want to express the idea that I miss a place, or an activity, or something?
So how do I say something like - "I miss living in the city', or 'he misses Japan'?
よろしくお願いします。

how to explain the date for Easter, in Japanese
I have been having interesting discussions with my Japanese friends about Easter, and how it is a moveable festival. The date changes every year. It is complicated enough to explain it in English, but I have no idea how to render this sentence into Japanese.
"Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first new moon after the spring equinox".
(Note: this refers to spring in the northern hemisphere, so it is even more confusing for us in Australia, as it is autumn here!)
よろしくお願いします。

何という意味ですか
This isn't really a notebook entry, but I can't post an image to the Answers page, so this is the only way I can think to show this kanji and ask for a translation. It is a page from an old book
この漢字の意味を教えてくれませんか
よろしくお願いします。

giving and receiving help
I am finding the giving and receiving verbs a bit challenging! I found the first sentence in the dictionary.
彼女は喜んで手助けしてくれた。She was only too glad to help me.
This is my attempt at turning it around to talk about me giving the help. Please let me know if this is correct, or is there a better way.
私は喜んで手助けしてあげました I was glad to help [them]
よろしくお願いします。
