Объяснения

• Past Simple используется для действия, которое произошло и завершилось в прошлом.
• Past Continuous используется для длительного действия в прошлом, которое либо происходило одновременно с другим действием, либо было прервано другим действием.

Таким образом, если действие произошло в конкретный момент времени, мы используем Past Simple, а если оно длительное и точно не определено по времени, или произошло во время других действий, используем Past Continuous.
