Distinguishing between present and past with IR

Hi all,

forgive me if this has been asked already but I have been practising past and present conjugations today and it has occurred to me that for verbs ending in IR, the Nosotros form is the same for past and present. For example Vivir, we live is vivimos but also we lived is vivimos? Am i missing something very obvious? How do you distinguish or is it not possible without context?

Thanks
