In these sentences, we are talking about actions that were happening in the past at a specific moment or were in progress. To indicate this, we use the past continuous tense. The past continuous tense is formed by using the past tense of the verb "to be" (was/were) followed by the present participle form of the main verb (-ing form). This tense is used to describe actions that were happening at a specific moment in the past or were in progress at a particular time.
