It then lists three uses for each tense: 1) a single past event/fact for past simple, ongoing actions at a past time for past continuous, 2) a succession of past events for past simple, irritation from past recurring actions for past continuous, and 3) habitual past actions for past simple, a polite past request for past continuous.
