Grammar point: The many values of quedar
At B2 level, you'll often meet the verb quedar , which looks simple but carries several different meanings. Spanish uses one verb where English needs 'to meet,' 'to suit,' 'to remain' or 'to end up.' Let's look at three main values: arranging plans, describing a result or place, and the pronominal quedarse . First, quedar means to arrange to meet, or to agree on a time and a place.
