Where did you used to live when you were very young ? vs Where would you live when you were young?

The first phrase, 'Where did you used to live when you were very young?', is correct. It uses the past simple tense 'did' and 'used to' to talk about a past habit or state. The second phrase, 'Where would you live when you were young?', is incorrect because 'would' is used for hypothetical situations or future possibilities, not for talking about past habits or states.
