Note
One spelling does double duty here. Reside simply adds -d, so the same form gives the plain past (they resided there) and the participle after have (they had resided there for years). The verb takes no object, so a passive use is hardly possible. The form also carries the verb's quieter senses: authority that resided in a council, or sediment that resided at the bottom of a jar.
