To me, we can say that. "Does your teacher live in Taiwan" is same meannings but less popular.
im not a native english speaker, and it felt really harsh when the apps flags me wrong when the mistakes was just using "lives" instead of "live"
I hope my teacher doesn't live in Taiwan. It'd be a terrible commute, since I live in the U.S.
You could be doing distance learning, or perhaps your teacher is only visiting for a few months and you're learning what you can while you can.
I never finish last 3 or 4 of my chapter because of stupid plural things. I'm not native English and can't remember the last 3-4 correct answer. So frustating
I already answer it right but the system said i'm wrong with the same coreection as i answer it :(
"does your teacher live in taiwan?"
was this marked incorrect because taiwan has to be capitalized? not sure what my mistake is
I believe that question would be written: 你的老师住在台湾哪儿? However, the question as written calls for an answer of "yes" or "no" due to the use of 吗 as the final word, leading to the translation "Does...?" "Is your teacher living in Taiwan?" probably would get accepted too. Remove 吗 and you will get the statement, "Your teacher lives in Taiwan."

of course that makes a lot more sense when you're a goose, "lives in" sounds more like something a possum or badger would say. (they are furry after all).

"stay" tends to be for something temporary while 住 tends to be for something long-term. If it were 留 (more generic than 住) instead of 住, "stay" would have made better sense.
No. I think the correct way to say that would be like “你的老师往在台湾，对不对。” Correct me if im wrong
I literally accidentally spelled the taiwan into "taiwnat", and just as i thought i was going to pass because it was just a typo, it didn't recognize "taiwnat" as taiwan.
The word "home" (jia1) is not in the question and you're not translating zhu4. I think your question is ni3 de lao3shi1 de jia1zai4 tai2 wan1 ma?
There's a typo in teacher and it's incorrect? Seriously..unless there a chinese word called "techer?"
What's the difference in chinese between: - Does your teacher live in taiwan - Where in taiwan does your teacher live

Does...? Answer with yes or no; it does or it doesn't => use 嗎？
Where...? Answer with the name of a location => use 哪里？

I answered "is your teacher is Taiwanese?" NOPE! but then I guess that is a different question altogether.. he/ she could be a nazi hiding out in Taiwan... I was wrong again DUO and you caught me again!! ( (Bhuuu BHoo) Tuba noise)
"Does your teacher live in taiwan" ... with a small letter "t" is wrong???
