Indicative or Subjentive. It seems tak in the subordinate time clause we use subjuntivo and in the manner clause indicativo, is it correct?

I could not find any explanation regarding the modes. thank you

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

Using of en or por for transport

hi, the last sentence says 'i like travelling by train'.

Why is 'viajar por tren' wrong? and when do we use 'en' for transport?

Thanks

Lo suficiente y Lo normal Dear ..... I haven't seen the above constructions before, and there doesn't seem to be a grammar link related to it in the "all related grammar" link. Can you explain why the "lo" is needed please? Thanks. John

R vs D Confusion in Cardinal Directions?

Hello! I'm not understanding why these cardinal points sometimes have a "r" and some have a "d" in the name (as bolded). Can you explain this further? ie: El sureste as south-east makes sense (literally south+east), but what is sudeste??

El sureste/sudeste = south-east

El suroeste/sudoeste = south-west

El noreste/nordeste = north-east

El noroeste = north-west

English grammar error

They should drink quite a lot.They must have drunk quite a lot.They actually drank quite a lot.They couldn't drink a lot.

Sorry to be persnickety--"drunk" is only an adjective in English, never a verb. "Have drank" is the correct form.

¿le gusta o le gustan, y por qué?

"En su tiempo libre a Rafa le gusta jugar al golf, pescar, leer libros, ir al cine, ver series, pasar tiempo con su familia y cocinar platos de pasta."

Here all the things Rafa do in the free time please him and make him like them, why the verb "gustar" is not in plurar, since there are more than one inf. verb, thought gustan makes more sense. Could you plesae help me out.
