Quedar vs Quedarse for Results

I'm not clear on the difference between Quedar and Quedarse when expressing results. The lesson says to use quedar to emphasize a result, and to use quedarse to express the result of a change. What's the difference, please? For instance, the following two examples seem pretty similar to me:

Seguro que quedarás contenta con tu pelado nuevo.
I am sure you will be/end up pleased with your new hair cut.

¡Laura va a quedarse pasmada con la noticia!
Laura will be astonished with the news!

Thanks.

Hello, in "Puedes hacer lo que quieras, no me importa.", why is it quieras and not quieres ? I got that it's the subjunctive but I don't understand why. Thanks !

"se transladó - or se trasladó"

Hola,

One of the alternative expressions you offer to the text for he moved to live in the United States" is "se transladó a vivir a Estados Unidos."

I think this should be "se trasladó."

Saludos

John

yo Odio vs yo Odie

In the writing test "Remedy for aching muscles B2" it says "No hay nada

que odie más". Why is it not "No hay nada que odio más"?

Deja construction

Hola,

A little confused on the structure of this:

Deja que yo busque la carretera en el mapa.

It's the part that deja plays - I'm interpreting it as imperative. I'm thinking it should be dejame, or something like that?

Gracias,

Hi - I'm not sure I understand why despierta is used here and not despierto (1st person conjugated)A veces espero a mi hija despierta hasta que llega a casa.

Is it because it is being used as an adjective in this sentence. Thx

Present tense of entender

When I put Yo entiendo instead of just Entiendo it was marked incorrect. Is it my error or a program error ?

en un tablao flamenco?

Can't find a meaning for 'tablao'.

Sevillanas must be a kind of dance, I hope.

Thanks.
