Hi,

The question part is 'Do you know' and the part beginning 'where the President lives' is the object of 'know' - it is a statement not a question. A question would be 'Where does the President live?'

Your other question is about 'take the times when everything freezes'. This means: look at those times(occasions) when everything freezes/ stops working.
Let me tell you about the times (occasions) when everything freezes/stops working.

Computer freezes #4 (permalink) Sat May 22, 2004 10:04 am   Computer freezes
 

Hi Iza,

In the given context the computer freezes or rather the picture you see on the computer screen freezes. This means there is no movement because the computer doesn't work.

Hi,

If you want to know where someone's home is, you would say: Where do you live?

'Inhabit' is more used to express the idea of occupy a place/country/area as an inhabitant. It is often used in the passive form as in:

The country is inhabited mainly by people who have come from other parts of the world.
