However, it's important to specify the type of past tense you're looking for as there are different conjugations in French:
* Past tense simple (passé simple): habita
* Past tense compound (passé composé): a habité
* Past tense imperfect (imparfait): habitait
* Past tense conditional (passé conditionnel): aurait habité
So, to provide the correct past tense, you need to specify the tense you're looking for.
