Hasta que no

Hola,

In a Spanish show, a character says to another:

Tú no sales de aquí hasta que no me traigas a ese chico.

Which I believe roughly translates to "You are not to go out until you bring this guy to me." If that is the case, could you explain why the subordinate sentence would be negated with no. Wouldn't it be:

Tú no sales de aquí hasta que me traigas a ese chico.

Thank you for your help!

Present Conditional vs Perfect Conditional

This lesson says:

"In Spanish, to express that someone "would have [done something]" in the past, we use the auxiliary verb haber.

Haber [ìn the conditional simple] + participle of main verb"

However wouldn't you use the perfect conditional to say "would have"?

He estado+gerund vs he estado+DE infinitive

Hola a todos

I just found this sentence on Kwiziq:

'He estado de viaje y me ha encantado todo'

So, with de I guess roughly this means 'I have been doing travelling'

But please can someone explain...

1) The differences between using 'he estado de viajar' vs 'he estado viajando'?

2) And can we use 'he estado de +infinitive' with all verbs?

Saludos
