Questions & Answers about Aceptamos tu sugerencia y quedamos en aportar más dinero.
How does quedar en mean 'agreed to' here, and why is the preposition en required?
The verb quedar usually means to stay or remain. However, when you use the formula quedar en plus an infinitive verb like aportar, it creates a set phrase meaning to agree or settle on doing something. The preposition en is strictly required here; without it, the verb loses this specific meaning.
Both aceptamos and quedamos are translated in the past tense here. Couldn't they also be in the present tense?
What is the difference between aportar and simply using dar?
Aportar specifically means to contribute, chip in, or provide something as part of a joint effort. While dar just means to give in a general sense, using aportar emphasizes that the money is a contribution to a shared goal or a shared pool of resources.
