This question relates to:French lesson "Demeurer can be used with avoir or être in compound tenses depending on its meaning in French (Le Passé Composé)"

Hi George,
Yes, you would use 'habiter' or 'demeurer' to say where you reside but habiter is a more straight forward verb which only takes 'avoir' in past tenses.
