Explanation: The simple present tense in questions like "Where do you live?" changes to the simple past "where I lived" in indirect speech, and the structure is adjusted to fit indirect questioning without direct question formatting.
Grammatical rule used: Direct questions in present simple change to past simple in indirect speech, with the question format adjusted to a statement form.
Example: "What do you think?" he asked. -> He asked what I thought.
