"ne pas se lever!" is this a correct form?

Question

Cécile Janty-Davies · Accepted Answer

Hi Murat 
'Ne pas se lever' is the correct infinitive form for 'not getting up'.
e.g.
Je ne vais pas me lever tôt demain matin = I am not going to get up early tomorrow
Il ne va pas se lever avant elle car il a mal au dos = He is not going to get up before her as he has back ache
Ils ne se lèvent jamais avant 11 heures du matin = They never get out of bed before 11 am
Hope this helps!

Ron Thomas · Answer

Bonjour Murat,  Je vais me lever tôt   The negative statement, I am not going to get up early seems to me to be Je ne vais pas me lever tôt !  However, it is possible that Je vais ne pas me lever tôt ! could also be correct,  i.e. I am going to not get up early.
Perhaps we need to hear from Aurélie as to which is correct on this.

No, ne . . . pas needs to be separated, for sure

What does Cecile's, "Il ne va pas se lever devant elle car il a mal au dos = He is not going to rise up in front of her as he has back ache" mean?

Ron Thomas · Answer

Sydney, my understanding of the phrase Cecile posted is thus:He is not going to get up before she does (presumably from bed) because his back hurts.J'espère que ma réponse va vous aider.

Hi Sydney,  
I agree it wasn't a brilliant example so I have changed it using what Ron was trying to say.
Merci Ron !

Hello. Quand est-ce qu'on doit utiliser: Je me leverai (futur simple) vs Je vais me lever (futur proche)?

Hi MM,
Just as in English 
I will get up = Je me lèverai
I am going to get up = Je vais me me lever
