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.

As a born and bred English person, I offer you my opinion, with help from the Oxford English Dictionary:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Mr. John, domiciled in house No 12../having domicile in house No. 12/residing at house No.12

"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..."

Thanks in advance!
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,
