Past Continuous Wh- questions

Where were you going last night?
We use the Past Continuous to
talk about things which were happening at or around a fixed time in the past: I was washing my hair at nine o’clock last night.
talk about temporary things in the past: My grandmother was staying with us last month.
set the scene in a story or give background information: I was walking along the road ...
emphasise a continuous activity: It was raining all day yesterday.
Past Continuous + Past Simple
We often use these two verb tenses together. The Past Continuous tells us the background information and the Past Simple tells us about a shorter action or an interruption:
As I was walking along the street, I saw an old friend.
I was reading my book when I heard a knock at the door.
