To change place or posture; to go, in any manner, from one place or position to another.

How to use

The verb 'move' is commonly used in everyday conversation and is suitable for both formal and informal contexts. A typical context for 'move' is when describing a change of location, such as moving to a new house or city. One grammatical nuance to note is that 'move' can be used intransitively, as in 'The parade moved down the street,' but it often takes an object or prepositional phrase to indicate direction, as in 'She moved the chair to the corner.' A common learner mistake is to confuse 'move' with 'move in' or 'move into,' which imply beginning to live in a new place.
