Shouldn't it ne present simple no sabemos?

My inclination is to go with the imperfective when talking about someone who has died, as I think of it in terms of general description about who they were: 

“My mother was an amazing woman. She was an excellent teacher, and loved her work.”

Am I correct that the imperfect is most appropriate in this situation? Would putting a time limit trigger the preterite?

 “She was a teacher for 20 years, and loved her work.”

Hola,

I have just completed a test with the above sentence to be completed with an adverb.

I do not have a problem with the adverb but with this part of the sentence:

... no nos quedan más ...

Can you please explain how the above equals 'we have no more' in English?  I wonder why it is quedan and not quedamos.

Many thanks for you help.

Saludos,

Colin

 Is this how you say "went shopping", or "looked round the shops"??

Hola, y gracias por responder a mi pregunta. 

My question relates to the sentence in this quiz:

"and be able to work on the negative aspects."

Kwizbot: y poder trabajar en los aspectos negativos. 

You:        y ser capaz de trabajar en los aspectos negativos. 

Note: My sentence does translate to : “and be able to work on the negative” aspects. 

I wanted to check with you if what I wrote: "ser capaz de"  is  correct and if not, why not ? 

And if my use of "ser capaz de"  is correct/acceptable?  - I would imagine that

there would be some difference in meaning?..-  and if so, what that would be. 

Thank you for your help.
