AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'find'
Perhaps a better explanation...
for word in paragraph:
if word in sentence:
print word + sentence
Assume that the word is only used once per paragraph.
I can't figure out how to tell it to print the right sentence (using this example) because python does the search internally and doesn't seem to have a way to return the list location where the match occurred.

I still don't understand your question. If you want the index in list2
of the item that matches, use list2.find(item).
If you want to enumerate over a list and have the list indices available
as well as the list values, use enumerate() e.g.
for i, item in enumerate(list1):
# i is the index of item in list1
