"where you live" vs "where do you leave"

"Where you live" is missing the helping verb "do."
"Where do you leave" is incorrect because "leave" should be "live."

where you live

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

"Where you live?" needs a helping verb. Complete the question by asking "Where do you live?"

  • Where do you live?

where do you leave

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

To non-native English speakers, "leave" and "live" can sometimes sound alike. The two words can be mixed up.

When asking where someone resides, use "Where do you live?"
