💡 Grammar Points
Two Times, One Word
In Spanish, the 'we' form for -ar verbs is exactly the same for both the present (we do) and the past (we did). You'll need to look at context clues like 'yesterday' or 'now' to know which one is being used.
The 'Nos' Factor
When talking about moving your home, you almost always need to add 'nos' (nos mudamos). Without 'nos,' it usually means you are changing or moving an object rather than yourself.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Missing the 'Nos'
Mistake: "Saying 'Mudamos a Madrid' to mean 'We moved to Madrid.'"
Correction: Say 'Nos mudamos a Madrid.' Adding 'nos' makes it clear that YOU are the ones relocating.
⭐ Usage Tips
Time Markers
Since 'mudamos' can mean 'we move' or 'we moved,' always use words like 'ayer' (yesterday) or 'normalmente' (normally) to help your listener understand the timing.
