What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

What is full of holes but still holds water?

When it is alive we sing, when it is dead we clap our hands. What is it?

When you say goodbye, I am what you need to tie.
I come as a couple and go wherever you run.
Who am I?

I come in different shapes and sizes.
Parts of me are curved, other parts are straight.
You can put me anywhere you like,
but there is only one right place for me.
What am I?

You can win me and lose me but never buy me
You can not eat me and never want to part with me
I can make you cry or bring you joy
I am not a machine and definitely not a toy
You keep me but i am not forever just yours
You might find me in a case or on a shelf next to a vase
I am hard and i am tall if you bump me i am sure to fall
I am made of different materials and am at many events
If your lucky and fight hard I might be yours
What am I ?

I make a loud sound when I’m changing. When I do change, I get bigger but weigh less. What am I?

It's pretty hard to give up.
If you remove a part of it, you will be left with a bit.
Even if you remove another part, the bit still remains.
Remove one more and it still remains.

What is it?

Pronounced as 1 letter, And written with 3, 2 letters there are, and 2 only in me. I’m double, I’m single, I’m black blue and grey, I’m read from both ends, and the same either way. What am I?

You see me once in June, twice in November, and not at all in May. What am I?
