Vous allez déménager quand ?
When are you going to move?
From Lesson 69:The near future (aller + infinitive)·French

Questions & Answers about Vous allez déménager quand ?

Why is déménager in the infinitive (unconjugated) form here?
This sentence uses the near future tense, which translates to "going to [do something]". To form it, you only conjugate the helping verb aller (here, Vous allez). The main action verb that follows always stays in its full, unchanged infinitive form (déménager).
Can I use déménager if I want to say I am going to move my car or move my arm?
No, déménager specifically means to move house or change your place of residence. If you want to talk about moving an object or a part of your body, you would use the verb bouger.
Why is quand at the very end of the sentence?
In spoken, everyday French, it is very common to keep the normal statement word order (Vous allez déménager) and just tack the question word (quand) onto the end. You could also put it at the beginning by saying Quand est-ce que vous allez déménager ?
Is there a spoken link (liaison) between Vous and allez?
Yes! Because allez starts with a vowel, the normally silent s at the end of Vous is pronounced like a "z", smoothly linking the two words together so it sounds like "Vou-zah-lay".
