Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Nosotros __________ allí por ocho años.
The correct answer is vivimos. Even though the example given "por ocho años" was an action that occurred over a long period of time, since a definitive beginning and ending period is given in the sentence, the only viable verb is "vivimos," as all of the other verbs are in the imperfect tense.

Which verb form is correct in context?
Estaba andando en la calle cuando, de repente, un ladrón __________ robarme.
