Why it's built this way
The notes match the numbers above.
- 1me comentó = she mentioned to me: an indirect-object pronoun, no preposition. Indirect object pronouns and doubling →
- 2The move is still planned, so the present va a can stay after comentó; iba a is also correct. Reported speech I and indirect questions →
- 3mudarse = to move house; the pronoun can go before ir a: se va a mudar = va a mudarse. Double object pronouns (se lo) and clitic placement →
