sobre 50,00
Let's start with past simple and past continuous:

The Past Continuous & Past Simple (Part 1)

 
 So, let's see when do we use one or another:

PAST SIMPLE PAST CONTINUOUS

action ៯�nished in the
action was in progress at a special time in the
past (single or
past
repeated)
two actions were happening at the same time
series of completed
(the actions do not in៯�uence each other)
actions in the past

 
Talking about the structure, it will be:

PAST SIMPLE PAST CONTINUOUS

regular verbs: in៯�nitive + -ed
irregular verbs: 2nd column of the table
of the irregular verbs
We ate hot dogs last night.
They walked around the city.
(was or were) + in៯�nitive + -ing
 
The children were playing in the
park for a long time.
She was writing a letter for her
grandmother.

 
Both tenses are often used in one sentence:
While we were sitting at the breakfast table, the telephone rang.
We were sitting at the breakfast table when the telephone rang.
Past Progressive → we were sitting at the table
Simple Past → the telephone rang.

The action in the Simple Past (purple) interrupts the action in the Past Progressive (red).
