Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'quedarás' and 'te quedarás'?

'Quedarás' (simple form) usually talks about location, result, or making plans ('You will meet'). 'Te quedarás' (reflexive form) means 'you will stay' or 'you will keep something for yourself.' They look similar but have distinct uses.

Why does 'quedarás' end in -ás?

The -ás ending is the standard pattern for the 'tú' (informal you) form in the simple future tense for all -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in Spanish. It signals an action that will happen to 'tú' later.
