晚上好!Before I knock out, I just wanted to get some clarifications. Please let me know if the following are correct.
***拿***
- 这是用什么做的?= 这是拿什么做的?(What is this made of? What is this made out of?)
- 用英语说吧。= 拿英语说吧。(Speak in English.)
***从***
- 你从什么时候学汉语?= 你什么时候开始学汉语?(When did you start learning Chinese?)
- 你从明天不要来了。= 你明天开始别来了。(Do not come back starting tomorrow.)

**拿***
- 这是用什么做的?= 这是拿什么做的?(What is this made of? What is this made out of?)
- 用英语说吧。= 拿英语说吧。
这两个句子里“用”比较合适,自然。用“拿”不是很合适,但是中国人也能明白。
***从***
- 你从什么时候学汉语?= 你什么时候开始学汉语?(When did you start learning Chinese?)
- 你从明天不要来了。= 你明天开始别来了。(Do not come back starting tomorrow.)
这两个句子里的“从”都表示时间的开始,有两个结构,一个是“从……起”,另一个是“从……开始”,完整的结构才能理解为“start from...”,只有“从”或者只有“开始”是错的。

***拿***
- 这是用什么做的?= 这是拿什么做的?(What is this made of? What is this made out of?)
- 用英语说吧。= 拿英语说吧。(Speak in English.)
The sentences above are all right,but "用"is more formal and"拿" usually is used in unformal situation.
***从***
- 你从什么时候学汉语?= 你什么时候开始学汉语?(When did you start learning Chinese?)
- 你从明天不要来了。= 你明天开始别来了。(Do not come back starting tomorrow.)
The sentences above are all right.
"从" could be used for time ---- "从(什么时候)"
also can be used for place----"从(什么地方)"eg. 你从哪里来?(where are you from?)/ 从你家到公司需要多长时间?(How long it will take from your house to the company?)
Hope it helps~

“用”和“拿”放在这两个句子中都是说的通的,只是不同地方的人可能习惯用其中一种,不过总的来说,“用”稍显正式。
“从”字的用法可能需要微调一下,“你是从什么时候开始学的汉语”“你从明天开始不要来了”的表述方式可能更好一些。
希望能帮到你。
