Question

what would be the preterit tense form?
Mi familia y yo (vivir) en Chile por muchos anos

Answer 1

The preterit tense form of the verb "vivir" (to live) for the sentence you provided is:

"Mi familia y yo **vivimos** en Chile por muchos años."

In this case, "vivimos" is the first-person plural form of the verb in the preterit tense.
