Result of action or change

In this note, it says quedar is for emphasising the result of an action, quedarse is for expressing the result of a change. What difference is there? It seems all the same. Example, va a quedarse contento con esta noticia. She is going to be happy with this news. ¡Laura va a quedarse pasmada con la noticia!M

Trouble Understanding examples.

Hi, I am trying to understand this lesson, and am confused by the two examples shown.

Why on the second example you put (accidentally) but not on the first example?

A Juan se le olvidó traer el hielo.

Juan forgot to bring the ice.A Juan se le olvidó traer cervezas.Juan [accidentally] forgot to bring beers
I understand that third person singular is used for both, and thought both examples are ‘accidental’ hence using SE.
Thanks

What if many persons like something?

Hi there!

What are the other pronouns? What if we want to say: "They like the train"? Do those pronouns follow the rules of the reflective ones? So, is it: "se gusta el tren"?

¿Qué califica como la voz profesional?

¿Ha oído o visto usted "Use your spanish", "why not spanish" y "SpanishLand school" en YouTube? Todos esos YouTubers son de Colombia y ellos hablan español bellamente como música legato. Para mi, hablar español con acento no significa la voz profesional regional, sólo la voz regional.

Tener - Moving Past a Basic Subject

I can conjugate Tener in the present tense while asleep. I can conjugate Tener in the present tense if I was no longer alive. Why does this bot want me to continue to practice conjugating Tener in the present tense? How do I move past a subject. This is a waste of time. Thanks for your help.
