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

¿Por que se usa 'El viaje' y no viajando? El viaje en avión es menos cómodo que el viaje en tren. ¿Por que se usa 'El viaje' y no viajando?

Hello - Are some of the subjunctive examples actually in the imperative mood? For example: No leamos hoy!

Bastante when to use singular vs plural

I think I saw an earlier lesson when you use bastante and other words only in a singular form. But I can't find the other lesson. Hopefully you can direct me to the lesson :)

Usage of ‘a qué’

Hola,

Not sure I’m entirely clear on this usage...

I get the ‘to what’... but I was surprised that it also means ‘at what’ in the mini-quiz (thinking that was more naturally ‘en qué’). Don’t think I saw this referenced in the lesson?

Is that the extent of it? - use ‘a qué’ for:

- To what

- At what

Gracias,

Pues versus Porque

Why are we using pues instead of porque in the first sentence to say because?

Cómo estás Hello, about the question: "Pedrito, how are you? " My answers were: ¿cómo estás?, ¿qué tal? and ¿cómo está?. The bot took my third choice as non correct. At the explanation tab however, it states : "even when we greet a person using their first name, we can still use a formal greeting as a sign of respect for an elderly person or because we feel that person prefers a more formal approach - in this instance we can still use the formal question: "¿Cómo está?", for example: Carmen, ¿cómo está?" So, I dont understand why cant we use the formal type for Pedrito too. I would think because he is a child but still a child could have the right to prefer a more formal approach. What is the case here, and why is the question: "Pedrito, ¿cómo está? wrong?
