Why is quedarse used here and not quedar? I went back to the lesson that deals with the differences and therein both are used with an adjective or participle to express the result of an action (=quedar) or change (=quedarse). For quedar + adjective, it is also written that the meaning is rather "to end up", and I feel like it fits well in the sentence above: they ended up perplexed due to what Beru did.

Could both be correct in this context?

Thanks!

Hello. I wonder why we used the pluperfect here: "el ladrón había conseguido escapar durante la confusión que hubo en ese momento."Is it correct to say " el ladrón conseguía escapar..." Thank you.

Solo y solamente

Hola,

re: the following sentences:

Kwizbot no solo en España sino también en el extranjero.
You no solamente en España pero también en el extranjero.

I was wondering if you could explain why solamente is not an acceptable choice. Thanks for your help

English not making sense

Si iba a la peluquería, me gastaba mucho dinero.
If I went to the hairdresser, I spent a lot of money.

Sorry but I can't make any sense out of the use of English in this example.

"When I went to the hairdresser, I spent a lot of money" No problem

"If I had been to the hairdresser, I would have spent a lort of money" OK

"If I were to go to the hairdresser, I would spend a lot of money"

"If I go to the hairdresser, I shall spend a lot of money"

The example: If I went to the hairdreser, I spent a lot of money" is not good English.

Hope this can be of help.

Nouns with accents on the last syllable

I’ve noticed that nouns with accents on the last syllable, such as el motín, el bastón, and el almacén, are masculine (of course the feminine ión ending is an exception). Is this a general rule? It helps to us automatically think of ataúd and laúd as masculine without having to remember them separately.
