Past Simple and Past Continuous
What are the differences ?

Grammar point
Две английские формы времени Past Simple и Past Continuous
обозначают события, которые произошли в прошлом и не имеют никакой связи с настоящим. Главное отличие Past Simple от Past Continuous
заключается в том, что в первом случае нам важно показать последовательность событий в прошлом, а во втором - подчеркнуть длительность действия в конкретный момент времени в прошлом.

Чем Past Simple отличается от Past Continuous.
1. Мы часто используем Past Continuous и Past Simple вместе. Когда это происходит, Continuous описывает более длительное действие или ситуацию, на фоне которой происходит однократное событие.
e.g. When I woke up this morning it was raining .
I was walking home, when I saw my old friend buying a newspaper.
5
Часто действие, описываемое Past Simple, прерывает длительную ситуацию, которую описывает Past Continuous.
Например: I broke my leg when I was skiing .
I was playing a computer game when my phone rang .
6
В данных примерах Past Continuous описывает ситуации, которые продолжаются в течение некоторого времени - «was skiing» и «was playing», в то время как Past Simple описывает действия, которые происходят быстро - «broke» и «rang».

2. Мы используем Past Continuous, когда говорим о том, что происходило в определенное время или в период времени в прошлом. В отличие от Past Continuous Past Simple
употребляется для выражения однократного действия в прошлом.
