How to use "move" as a verb in all contexts?

I think three basic things one must know about the Haitian Creole word MOVE is that

#1.  It can be used as an adjective.  And when it is used as an adjective it means bad, wicked, corrupt, mean, rotten, vicious, etc...

#2. As a verb it basically means to be angry, to be mad (or even boiling mad), to be furious, to be tempestuous, etc...

#3.  MOVE, in Creole, can also be written as MOVÈZ (from the feminine part in French).  Although word gender does not matter much in Creole, you definitely will come across MOVÈZ.  Haitians tend to use MOVÈZ with the following words: movèz fwa, movèz konduit, movèz odè, movèz espri.  You should know that you can always use MOVE instead of MOVÈZ  – Se Kreyòl n’ap pale.  Se pa Franse n’ap pale.
