Questions & Answers about Nos mudamos a un pueblo de esta provincia.
Why is the reflexive verb mudarse used here instead of just mover?
In Spanish, mover means to physically move an object or a part of your body. When you are talking about moving to a new house, city, or changing your residence, you must use the reflexive verb mudarse.
The translation says "We moved", but doesn't nos mudamos also mean "We move" in the present tense?
Exactly! For regular verbs ending in -ar and -ir, the nosotros (we) form is identical in both the present tense and the preterite (simple past) tense. You just have to rely on context to know it happened in the past here.
The English translation says "in this province", so why does the Spanish sentence use de instead of en?
