Remember, the Past Continuous (was/were + Verb-ing; wasn’t/weren’t + Verb-ing; Was/Were + subject + Verb-ing ) is used for actions that were in progress at some time in the past. The Past Simple (regular verbs -ed, irregular verbs II column; didn’t + infinitive; Did + subject + infinitive) is used for an action that “interrupts“ the action that was in progress (Past Continuous). The Past Simple is also used for actions that happened one after the other in the past.
