Moving out means leaving a home to live elsewhere.
The idea
Use move out alone or move out of before the home. The expression is neutral in everyday speech. In this sense, no noun or pronoun object separates the words.
Examples
- We moved out in June.
- The tenants moved out of the house.
- My brother will move out next month.
- Are you moving out of your apartment?
- They have to move out before winter.
- Our friends moved out of their old flat yesterday.
