savoreachbite asked: Hallo! I was reading piratesandindians' question and he/she said "Ich wohnte in Salzburg". I've been taught that it is "Ich wohne in..." because the verb is wohner so in Ich is wohne because of the -e and blah blah blah. But, is there a difference? Am I wrong? Is he/she wrong? Is it wohner?!??! Ahhh I'm freaking ooouuuuttt! By the way, I love love LOVE your blog! It helps me a lot with my German. Küssen! :)

Hey there - thanks for loving my blog! Woohoo! :)

“Ich wohnte in…” is past tense “I lived / used to live in…”. “Ich wohne in…” is present tense “I live in…”.

“wohner” doesn’t exist!

The only thing I can think of is the noun - inhabitant: der Einwohner / die Einwohnerin (Plural: die Einwohner).
