1. I was walking down the street when it began to
rain.
2. While I was walking down the street, it began to
rain.
3. Rita was standing under a tree when it began to
rain.
4. At eight o’clock last night, I was studying.
5. Last year at this time, I was attending school.
In sentence number 1, I was walking down the
street is the first action and it began to rain is
the second action.
Both actions occurred at the same time, but
the first action began earlier and was in
progress when the second action occurred.
In sentence number 4, my studying began
before 8:00, was in progress at that time, and
probably continued.

Sometimes the past progressive is used in both parts of a sentence

when two actions are in progress simultaneously as shown in the
sentence:
While I was studying in one room of our apartment, my roomate was
having a party in the other room.
