"where did she buy it" is best.

both are acceptable.

YL
Perhaps it might help your education if when you post you tell us what you think is correct and why.

This is kinda like "we do your thinking for you"

No. 2 is correct. I found the following at www.about.com.


Use of 'at' with places:

at the bus-stop
at the door
at the cinema
at the end of the street
Use 'at' with places on a page:

at the top of the page
at the bottom of the page
Use 'at' in groups of people:

at the back of the class
at the front of the class

Is there any difference in meaning between the two sentences?

Does 'Where did buy it from' mean that I bought it from another country? Or does it have the same meaning as 'Where did you buy it?

I think there is no difference, but need confirmation from one of the native speakers.

Many thanks.

Hello again Liat! I'm sorry about my confusing writing yesterday. I went searching the net and lost track of the word under attack! Forget everything I said!

Both of those questions mean the exact same thing; however, native speakers do not use "Where did you get it from?" as it is incorrect grammar.

I am a native speaker, but sometimes I want to explain prepositions, adjectives and other parts of speech and can't remember the technical terms.
