Answer 7

Hi Biznaga - hope you don't mind but just to improve the english content, i have made some small corrections to your explanation

"Estar en pie" es estar levantado, as when you get up of the bed and begin with the daily routine for example, it is an expression of attitude and "estar de pie" is when physically you are standing up, you are not sat not knocked down, it is an expression of movement. I wait to have helped yourself to differentiating them.

"estar de pie" is when physically you are standing up, you are not sat down, it is an expression of movement. I hope to have helped you to differentiate between them.

believe me, these are only minor corrections, but are MORE english
