Принцип. Past Continuous — это процесс: \(was/were + V_{ing}\). Past Simple — короткое законченное действие: вторая форма глагола или окончание -ed.
Смотри не на порядок слов, а на смысл:
- в №1–10 короткое действие стоит после when, а второе действие уже длилось;
- в №11–20 наоборот: после when идёт процесс, который прерывает короткое действие.
Проверка. Was — для I, he, she, it и единственного числа; were — для we, you, they и множественного числа: children were, my friends were, we were. Я проверил формы: в №9 sit → sitting, в №10 dance → dancing, в №20 run → running.
