Объяснение:

Past Simple используется для последовательности событий в прошлом, когда нам важно показать, какое событие произошло первым. Past Continuous выражает процесс в определенный момент в прошлом.

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
