Grammar
Thy're moved in / they moved in.
When some people changed the place where they lived, should I say " they're moved in" or "they
moved in"?
I thought 'they moved in' was acceptable in that situation. but I found out the passive voice, "they're
moved in", from one of my Englishbook.
I don't know what is acceptable or what is diffence in meaning between two sentences.

Hi, I can't say anything about " they're moved in" as I have really never ever heard it or come across it in a book. What I can say is that " they moved in " is correct (at least, in British English). When in doubt about a word, look it up in a dictionary.

- Dictionaries can be imprecise, but they're (generally speaking) better than textbooks, especially than those written by non-natives.

All these are OK:
They moved in last week. (simple past)
They have just moved in but have not finished unpacking all the boxes. ( present perfect)
All the work is done, the boxes unpacked, and finally they are moved in. (participle used as predicate adjective.)
