I lived = yo viví
you lived = tú viviste
he/she lived = él/ella vivió
we lived = nosotros vivimos
you lived = vosotros vivisteis (in Spain) (plural)
ustedes vivieron (in Latin America)(plural)
they lived = ellos vivieron

vivÃa o vivÃ...
difference: vivà ,if you refer to a distant past...20 years ago i lived in Spain - hace 20 años vivà en España.
vivÃa - you relate it to something else that happened in the past...when world war ii started i lived in Spain (cuando empezó la segunda guerra mundial yo vivÃa en España)
however as "vivir" is a verb that doesnt relate to an action that takes place in a precise moment but a period this difference is a little bit less evident.
you can say "hace 20 años yo vivÃa en España...since you refer to a period, when you say this sentence nobody thinks that you lived there for three minutes.

There are few ways-
for example: I lived in Spain all of my life.- VivÃa en españa por toda mi vida.
he lived for three days after the accident.
vivió por 3 dÃas despúes del accidente.
