Объяснение:

Когда в предложении говорится о действии, которое началось и закончилось в прошлом, используем глагол в форме Past Simple. Если действие длилось в прошлом в указанный момент времени, то используем Past Continuous.

Если действие произошло до/раньше другого действия в прошлом, то для более раннего действия нужно использовать глагол в Past Perfect.

А если надо подчеркнуть, что такое более раннее действие длилось в течение какого-то времени, то используем Past Perfect Continuous.
