No Sooner......than help

Hi,

I'm new to this forum but this forum has been quite helpful to me  few times.

I'm full with doubts about no sooner.....than

According to my teacher's note:

Usage

Past - did
Present - Singular - does
               Plural - do

Everywhere on the web, it is given had and present tense could not be used with it. It will be very kind if someone shed's some light on it or better help me by giving correct answers to this questions:

1. As soon as, we heard the blast, we ran away.
2. As soon as he watches me he start calling. 
3. As soon as I complete my homework I watch TV.
4. As soon as the game got over they all ran away.
5. As soon as he caught he was punished.
6. As soon as we step outside it started raining.
7. As soon as you fail they beat.

Also, Do we have to use comma in answer?

Thank you in advance for the best support.

All but one, if your original post was correct. "As soon as I complete my homework ..." is in the present tense, and it seems to be describing a habitual action. "No sooner do I complete my homework ...".
