Does every Russian verb have a perfective and imperfective form?
what about the verb to live? zhit'? As in I lived in a city but now i dont. how is that used both ways in the past tense?

Not all the verbs in Russian have perfective and imperfective forms, but sometimes they change as for example the verb live: жить is imperfective, and it changes to проживать with the same meaning live in English but its perfective. you can say я проживала or жила. the first one is rarely used now, but means i have been living.
