用法How to use 搬家
A verb-object compound meaning "to move house, to relocate". Because it is separable, aspectual 了, 过 and measure phrases go between 搬 and 家: 搬了家, 搬过几次家. Sentence-final 了 can follow 家 to mark a change of state (要搬家了), and complements like 完 also come before 家 (搬完家). The destination is usually expressed with 搬到+place.
