Llevar seems more flexible?

It seems that the llevar construction from B1 Spanish is more flexible?

For example if I want to say "He had been working with his dad for a few months", then I could write:

Él llevó trabajando con su papá por unos meses.

Por unos meses él llevó trabajando con su papá.

Él llevó trabajando por unos meses con su papá.

Far more forgiving grammatically than the hacía constructions.

This represents a form not used in Latin America--was it included here by mistake? Or do you keep us honest by occasionally inserting Iberian forms?

En que abranI have a question about this construction in one of the examples for this lesson:No veo la hora en que abran el nuevo centro comercial.I can't wait for the new shopping centre to open.Could you explain the use of "en que abran" (plural)? I thought it should be "en que abra" (singular). Does "abran" refer to unspecified "they"? Thanks.

Use of reflexive / direct/ indirect object pronouns with "Tener que"

With "tener que + infinitive" do you have to attach the pronoun to the infinitive or can it also be placed before "tener"?

Example: Tengo que lavarme las manos.

Me tengo que lavar las manos.

Are both sentences correct or is only the first sentence correct?
