“Simple Past vs Past Progressive”.

The simple past talks about something that happened before. It happened
and it finished.

The past progressive talks about something that was happening before, but
for a period of time. It gives a background for something that was happening
while a different event happened.

Example: While I was eating, the telephone rang.

So, during the time I was eating (let's say from 6:30-7:00 p.m.) somebody
called my house (let's say they called at 6:49p.m.)

One thing happened (simple past) during the period of time another thing
was happening (past progressive.)
