I would says "va de" without an "un" but let's see what others have to say. - Fredbong, Sep 27, 2011
Do you mean "ir de" (It is the subject of the sentence) A conjugated verb cannot be a noun. - 0074b507, Jan 27, 2012

(Marisa gusta viaje un avion.) is this right?

You need to look at the syntax normally used in sentences containg gustar and gustar-like verbs.

The commonly (but it is not required) construction follows the model:

Indirect object pronoun/noun + gustar +subject of verb.

In your sentence, Travelling by plane [a plane trip] would be the subject of the sentence.

gustar is the verb (often thought of as "is pleasing to".)

Marisa is the indirect object. When the indirect object precedes the verb the "redundant" indirect object pronoun is required.

A Marisa le gusta viajar en avión. A Marisa le gusta un viaje en avión.

Travelling by plane is pleasing to Marisa. Marisa likes a plane trip.

I thought that we had a Reference Article on using Gustar, but I can't locate it. We do have lots of previous threads concerning how Gustar is used if you care to do a search.

Welcome to the forum Hotpk. This looks like a homework question which we won't do for you here. Try it for yourself first. All you need is that one word. Think of it in English then translate it.
