Questions & Answers about Cuando planees la mudanza, por favor avísame.

Why do we use planees here instead of the normal present tense planeas?
This sentence talks about an action that has not happened yet (planning the move). In Spanish, when you use cuando (when) to talk about a future event, you must use the subjunctive mood. That is why the regular present tense planeas changes to the subjunctive planees.
Why does planees have two 'e's in a row?
It is just how the spelling works out! The infinitive verb is planear (to plan). To form the present subjunctive for tú (you), you take the stem plane- and add the subjunctive ending -es. Put them together, and you get planees.
If I want to say 'the move', why use la mudanza instead of a word related to mover?
The verb mover means to physically move an object or a part of your body. However, moving to a new house or apartment has its own dedicated vocabulary in Spanish. The noun for moving houses is la mudanza, which comes from the verb mudarse (to move residences).
Why is me attached to the end of the word in avísame?
Avísame is an affirmative command that means 'notify me' or 'let me know'. When you give an affirmative command to someone in Spanish, you must attach object pronouns like me directly to the end of the verb. An accent mark is added to the í to keep the natural spoken stress on the part of the word that says avisa.
