Spanish language Q&A Forum

In the question "En el viaje ________ un niño atrás", the answer was 'se nos quedó'. Could you give a literal translation of this sentence because otherwise it seems like the verb agrees with the object of the sentence rather than the subject. I guess I'm asking for a way of translating quedar in my head so that even if it makes the English awkward, I can also keep straight subject and object (much like I can substitute "is pleasing" for gustar). 

Thanks! 

The example in this lesson uses the imperfective. Are there also circumstances in which the pretérito would be appropriate to talk about ownership?

I have only now noticed that I read 'brought' for 'bought', but the rest of my question stands.

Hola,

I clicked on the link at the top of this lesson to see more info on the topic :

However, later on I tried to do a search with both these entries in the search box and on the Library page with these entries - below-  and nothing came up (except the translations - which has happened several times before):

Entries: Spanish grammar lessons for Idioms, Idiomatic Usage, and Structures and

IDIOMS, IDIOMATIC USAGE, AND STRUCTURES (your link in the lesson)

I don't understand how come this does not come out in the search.  What am I doing wrong?

 Also would it work better to search in Spanish? 

Thank you. Nicole
