where have you

[Untaught88]

Hi,
Are both correct?
Where have you lost?
Where were you lost?

 

[Tarheel]

No, say:

Where were you?

OR

Where were you when you were found?

 

[Untaught88]

I want to use the word "lost".

 

[GoesStation]

"Where were you when you got lost?"

 

[Untaught88]

What about ''Where did you get lost''?

 

[GoesStation]

What about ''Where did you get lost''?

That's fine as a sentence. Both your sentence and mine suffer from a logical weakness: if I'd known where I was, I wouldn't have been lost!

 

[Matthew Wai]

Is it logical to say 'What were the surroundings when you got lost?'

 

[Raymott]

I'd assume that he's been found, has been told were he was, and someone else is now asking him, "Where were you lost?" - in which case, there's nothing wrong with the original.
