Questions & Answers about Cuando la mudanza termine, vamos a hacer una gran fiesta.
Why is it termine instead of termina?
Because the move hasn't finished yet! When we use cuando (when) to talk about an action that will happen in the future, Spanish requires the subjunctive mood. Since terminar is an -ar verb, its form in the present subjunctive changes the -a to an -e, giving us termine.
Is la mudanza related to the verb mudarse (to move residences)?
Yes! Mudarse means to move from one house to another. By replacing the verb ending with the suffix -nza, it becomes the noun la mudanza (the move).
Why does it say una gran fiesta instead of una fiesta grande?
