Answer 1

Again you need to identify the Present Tense (a, c) versus the Past Tense (a is also the Preterit, b & d are the Imperfect) and the subject-verb ending.

a. either we live, we do live, we are living (Present) OR we lived, we did live (Preterit)

b. they used to live, they were living, they lived (Imperfect)

c. they live, they do live, they are living (Present)

d. we lived, we used to live, we were living (Imperfect)

Answer 2

The correct answer in Spanish would be "vivían." This is because the question is referring to your grandparents in the past, indicating a continuous or habitual action. To determine the correct answer, you can identify the subject of the question, which is "ellos" (they), and then choose the corresponding verb form in the past tense, which is "vivían" (lived). The verb form "vivimos" (we lived) is not correct since it doesn't match the subject "ellos," which means "they." Similarly, "viven" (they live) and "vivíamos" (we lived) are not appropriate verb forms for this question.

"Cuando eras pequeña, ¿vivian tus abuelos cerca de tu familia?" "No, ellos _____ muy lejos."

Again you need to identify the Present Tense (a, c) versus the Past Tense (a is also the Preterit, b & d are the Imperfect) and the subject-verb ending.
