Past Simple or Present Simple?
Can you help me with another tense problem?
I'm not sure what tense I should use in this sentence:
"Kate used to live in a small town where people ........ one another."
Is it all right, if I use "know"? By this I understand that Kate doesn't live in this small town any more, but the people there still know one another.
Or maybe I should used "knew"?
"Kate used to live in a small town where people knew one another."
Thank you

I see. What if instead of "used to live" I used "had lived"? Would it change anything?
"Kate had lived in a small town where people know one another."
"Kate had lived in a small town where people know one another."
