Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'mueves' used for moving to a new house?

Not usually. For moving house, Spanish speakers typically use the reflexive verb 'mudarse' (me mudo, te mudas).

Why isn't it 'moves'?

Spanish has many 'stem-changing' verbs. In 'mover', the 'o' splits into 'ue' whenever that part of the word is stressed, which happens in the 'you' (tú) form.
