Let’s see how to correctly use QUEDAR and QUEDARSE in Spanish.

Woman thinking about the correct use of "quedar" and "quedarse" in Spanish.

The verb QUEDAR means a lot of things in Spanish…

1) “to agree on a time and place to meet”

QUEDAMOS para mañana a las 3 en punto
LET’S MEET tomorrow at 3 o’clock

2) “to agree on something”

QUEDAMOS en ver esta película juntos
WE AGREED to watch this film together

3) “to remain / left”

QUEDA poco tiempo para llegar a la estación
Little time LEFT to get to the station

And the same verb in its “Reflexive Form” QUEDARSE means….

4) “to remain / stay physically in a place”

NOS QUEDAMOS una semana más en este lugar
WE REMAIN / STAY one more week in this place

Qué tengas un día maravilloso!
