When to use past simple
We use the past simple to describe an action that happened and finished in the past. We commonly use it to give the order of events in a narrative.Example
The Titanic struck the iceberg at 11.40pm.When to use past continuous
We use the past continuous to describe an action that was in progress at a particular time in the past but not completed. We often use this tense with a specific time or together with another shorter event.Example
The passengers were having dinner at 9 o'clock.How to make positive past continuous sentences
The past continuous is made from subject + was/were + verb-ing.
