Mistake: Using the imperfect 'se mudaba' instead of the preterite 'se mudó' for a single, completed move.
Correct: Use 'se mudó' for a specific past move, like 'Se mudó ayer.'

Mistake: Forgetting the reflexive pronoun 'se' when conjugating.
Correct: Always include the reflexive pronoun: 'me mudé', 'te mudaste', 'se mudó', etc.
