GRAMMAR
Past Simple
We use the Past Simple to talk about things which started and finished in the past:

The judge started her job in 1998.
regular events
She worked in the court every day for ten years.
past states
I didn’t understand the problem.
telling stories
I went to the park and I saw a crowd of people.
With the Past Simple we use time expressions like yesterday, yesterday morning/afternoon/evening, last night/year/week/Saturday, when I was five/ten, ten years ago, in September/2004.
Where were you yesterday?
She spoke to the police a week ago.

We use the Past Continuous
to describe things which were in progress at or around a fixed time in the past:

for longer activities interrupted by shorter ones in the past:
I was jogging in the park when I saw a crowd of people.
for temporary situations in the past:
We were staying with our cousins.
to set the scene in a story or give background information:
