Usage

Quedar is one of the most frequently used verbs in Spanish. It is reflexive when meaning "to arrange" or "to agree" (quedarse adds the sense of "to stay/remain" as a more deliberate action). Watch for the idiomatic construction *quedar + adjective* (e.g., "quedó decepcionado" = he was left disappointed).
