• Past Simple: Used for completed actions, sequences of events, or states in the past (e.g., saw, shouted, did not see).
• Past Continuous: Used for actions that were in progress at a specific time or when another action happened (e.g., was going, were running).
• Interruption: When a long action (Past Continuous) is interrupted by a short one (Past Simple), we use "when" (e.g., was not sleeping when father came).
