Write the correct form of the verb in brackets. Before she came here she _______ (live) in New York for 5 years.

{ "answer": "had lived", "explanation": "In this sentence, we need to use the past perfect tense because the action of living in New York happened before another action in the past (she came here). The past perfect is formed with 'had' + past participle of the verb. Thus, the correct form of 'live' is 'had lived'." }
