Grammar in focus · probarse y quedar

Probarse ('to try on') is reflexive: me pruebo, te pruebas, se prueba — '¿Me puedo probar esta camisa?' To say how clothes suit you, use quedar like gustar: the verb agrees with the clothing, not with you. 'Esta falda me queda bien' (it fits me well), 'Estos pantalones me quedan grandes' (these trousers are too big for me). To talk about price: '¿Cuánto cuesta?' (singular) / '¿Cuánto cuestan?' (plural). 'Me lo/la llevo' means 'I'll take it'.

Write it yourself

Write a short shop exchange: ask for a size, try it on, and ask the price.
