    The document discusses the past simple and past continuous tenses in Spanish. It provides examples of using when and while clauses with one long action in the past continuous and one short action in the past simple. It notes that when both verbs refer to short actions, the past simple is used for both (e.g. "When the CSI people heard the alarm, they went to the crime scene"). The document concludes by asking the reader questions to practice using these tenses.
