| It seems there are no correct ones there. It should be like this: "She asked me where I stayed when I visited Toronto". |

Hi, and with your corrections, can we accept the 3rd and the 4th? She asked me where I was staying while visiting Toronto. She asked me where to stay when visiting Toronto. And should we use Sequence of Tenses to express a prior action? _________________ I am an incurable optimist. |

These are my first impressions:
1. She asked me where I stayed when I visited Toronto.
— e.g. she wants the name of the hotel, or the location.
2. She asked me where I had stayed when I visited Toronto.
— she thinks you may have stayed at more than one location.
3. She asked me where I was staying while visiting Toronto.
— she is referring to a future trip.
4. She asked me where to stay when visiting Toronto.
— she wants advice.
(But those are only first impressions: with a full context, the interpretations might be different.)
Best wishes,
MrP |

| MrP's paraphrase, though of his first impression, is across the board, I think. |
