hay un fantasma de una mujer que no deja de quejarse de sus desgracias

I had searched for “Subjunctive” and came across something entitled “It’s complicated explaining the Subjunctive”. It seemed to be what I was looking for, so I clicked on it. However, I was taken to a lesson on facíl/difícil. Can you correct the link? Basically, I’m trying to mover beyond the long list of situations requiring the mood, and understand the underlying principle(s). Somewhere I saw an article making a distinction between the informational and the intentional. Would you have any references covering this question?   Thanks very much.  John Nolan

The speaker said dió rather than dio. 

Just a tad confusing although it probably happens in everyday speech.

Explain formal and informal

Can we eliminate the use of "vosotros" in the Spanish - or choose a non Spain (American) version?

I thought the past participle of leer is leído. But the above example uses leídas. I have no knowledge of conjugating past participles. Please explain the usage. Thanks 

Does this construction always require indicative or can it also be used with subjunctive?
