Common Mistake (1): Live vs stay
I was marking a pupil's assignment when I spotted this common mistake. I decided to highlight it during my lessons. This is a common mistake made by adults too.
When we ask someone where he or she resides, we should ask, "Where do you live?" instead of "Where do you stay?"
Note the difference in meaning between "stay" and "live"
Stay: Live in a place temporarily
Example: I stayed at ABC Hotel when I was on holiday in Paris.
Live: reside in a place permanently
Example: I live in a flat in Jurong West.
