Explicação:
Simple Past
No Simple Past, já vimos que as ações ocorrem sempre em um tempo determinado no passado, e por isso é comum encontrarmos a presença de marcadores de tempo, tais como, yesterday (ontem), last night (a noite passada), last Sunday (domingo passado), last month (o mês passado), last year (o ano passado), some minutes ago (alguns minutos atrás), this morning (hoje de manhã), etc.
Past Continuous
O Past Continuous (Passado Contínuo), também conhecido como Past Progressive (Passado Progressivo), é um tempo verbal utilizado para indicar ações contínuas que ocorreram no passado.
O Past Continuous deve ser utilizado para:
1. Para expressar duas ou mais ações que acontecem ao mesmo tempo no passado
Nesse caso, é muito comum o uso da palavra while (enquanto).
Exemplo:
I was reading a book while he was watching TV.
(Eu estava lendo um livro enquanto ele estava assistindo TV).
2. Para expressar uma ação contínua no passado, que já estava acontecendo, quando outra mais pontual ocorreu
Nesse caso, a ação pontual no passado é expressa pelo Simple Past (Passado Simples).
Exemplo:
They were studying when somebody rang the bell.
(Eles estavam estudando quando alguém tocou a campainha.)
3. Para expressar uma ação contínua habitual que ocorria no passado
Exemplo:
She was often asking for help.
(Ela estava sempre pedindo ajuda.)
4. Para estabelecer uma relação temporal entre uma ação contínua que ocorreu no passado e o momento presente
Nesse caso, é muito comum o uso de certas expressões de tempo.
Exemplo:
She is wearing a skirt today, but she was wearing a dress yesterday.
(Ela está usando uma saia hoje, mas ontem estava usando um vestido.)
