💡 Grammar Points

Dropping the 'D'

When giving a command to a group ('vosotros') to do something to themselves, you take the 'd' off the end of the verb (moved) before adding 'os'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

The 'Movedos' Error

Mistake: "Using 'movedos' instead of 'moveos'."

Correction: The correct form is 'moveos'. In Spanish, we drop the 'd' to make the word sound smoother when adding 'os' at the end.

⭐ Usage Tips

Spoken vs. Written

In casual speech in Spain, you might hear people use the infinitive 'moveros' as a command, but 'moveos' is the grammatically correct version for writing and careful speech.
