Past Continuous Tense

The Past Continuous Tense, which expresses events or situations that have happened before, is one of the most popular Tenses. Although it seems very similar to Past Simple Tense when defined in this way, Past Continuous Tense is actually used for actions that span a certain period of time but are done in the past tense. To put it briefly, the actions that were done in the past but took a long time to be done are used with the Past Continuous Tense.
