lucas21cWhere is he [to blame/to be blamed]?
Where? It's the word "where" that makes this such a difficult question, as if he must be standing in a particular place when we blame him. Maybe the speaker is using 'where' to mean 'in what way'.

[In what way / How / Why] is he to blame (for doing something)?
