✦Grammar Breakdown
¿Atodoslesquedaclaro?
Preposition A + Indirect Object
The preposition 'a' introduces the indirect object when it is a personal pronoun or a specific group, e.g., 'a todos' = 'to everyone'.
Indirect Object Pronoun 'les'
‘les’ replaces the indirect object phrase ‘a todos’, avoiding repetition; it must agree in number with the referent.
Verb 'quedar' as 'to be clear'
In this idiom, 'quedar' is used in the third‑person singular to mean ‘to remain’ or ‘to be understood’, and it does not change with the plural indirect object.
Adjective 'claro' as predicative
When used after 'quedar', 'claro' stays in its masculine singular form regardless of the gender or number of the people it refers to.
Question marks
Spanish uses opening (¿) and closing (?) question marks; both are required.

✕Common Mistakes
¿A todos les quedan claro?
The verb stays singular (queda) because the subject is the impersonal idea of the information, not the people.
¿A todos les queda claros?
The adjective remains singular; it does not agree with the plural indirect object.
¿A todos los queda claro?
Do not replace 'les' with 'los' or 'las' here; 'les' is the correct indirect object pronoun.
¿Todos les queda claro?
The preposition 'a' is required before the personal plural; omitting it sounds unnatural.
↔Alternatives

Has everyone understood it?
¿Queda claro para todos?

¿Se ha entendido bien?
Has it been understood well?
Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking classrooms the phrase '¿A todos les queda claro?' is a polite way to check comprehension without singling anyone out. Note that the adjective 'claro' never agrees with the plural subject here; saying *claros* would be a common mistake. Also, avoid the leísmo error of using 'les' as a direct object pronoun—here it is truly indirect, referring to the people who receive the information.
