Answer 2

You are asking about the verb quedarse, which is a pronominal verb. To use quedo and quedas, the first and second person singular forms of the verb, you must deal with the pronoun 'se'. In the conjugations that you are asking about, they would be something like this:

• me quedo
• te quedas
• se queda
• nos quedamos
• se quedan

So, you can say "me quedo aquí" (I am staying here). Understand?
