Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'quedará' have an accent mark?

The accent mark on the final 'a' (quedará) is essential because it indicates the stress falls on the last syllable, which is a characteristic of the simple future tense in Spanish. If you remove the accent, the word changes to 'queda' (present tense, he/she/it remains).

Is 'quedará' the same as 'se quedará'?

No, they are related but different! 'Quedará' means 'it will remain' or 'it will be located.' 'Se quedará' (the reflexive form) means 'he/she/it will stay behind' or 'he/she/it will keep (something).'
