How do we form the near future tense in this sentence?
To say you are "going to" do something, you use the conjugated form of aller (to go) plus the infinitive (unconjugated) form of the main verb. Here, nous allons means "we are going", and déménager is the infinitive "to move".
I thought "to move" was bouger. Why do we use déménager here?
Why do we use à before Paris?
In French, you use the preposition à before the name of a city to mean "to", "in", or "at". You only use different prepositions, like en or au, for countries and regions.
