Isn't "Mr John, living in house 12" good ? :-?
Pourquoi faire simple ?

Sorry for my question is not clear enough. My point is that I need to know how to use "Domicle" correctly. As mentioned above, I tried to use it that way, is it good enough, Is it the way the English people use it or not?please.

"Guest" would you mind registering on the forum? We will see you with a name or a nickname, not just as an anymous "guest", and it would be more friendly ;)

Thanks in advance!

I don't think (but I'm not native English).

As a born and bred English person, I offer you my opinion, with help from the Oxford English Dictionary:

"domicile" is used in three ways.

1. as a noun "Mr. John's domicile is located at 12 John St."
2. as a transitive verb "Mr. John is domiciled in house no. 12"
3. as an intransitive verb "Mr. John domiciles/is domiciling in house no. 12"

Number 1 sounds quite formal, but is current. Numbers 2 and 3 are correct, though I don't think I'd ever seen them used that way before today. (Thanks!)

"Mr. John resides..." is much more common.
"Heureusement que j'aime pas les épinards..."

I am sorry for not registering my name in the forum, this is because I thought I have registered as a subscriber of you wab site already, and thought that it would cover to this forum. Sorry about that. And one more thing, I can not read French, I don't know what to do exactly.

Thank you for your suggestion, anyway. I do love your forum, I will use it every time I use my internet.

Best regards,
Piak
